.DISCUSSION...

Surface high pressure will pass by to the north today into
Friday providing much drier and cooler conditions. High
temperatures today will only rise into the low to mid 80s, and
upper 70s to low 80s on Thursday and Friday. Lows will drop into
the 60s. A shortwave moving out of the plains will bring rain
chances (30-50%) back into the region on Friday into Saturday
morning. PWs climb back above 2" so heavy rain may be something
to keep an eye on. Behind the shortwave, upper level ridging
expands across the plains with the region on the eastern
periphery of the ridge. Temperatures will rise back into the 90s
along with an increase in humidity.
