dry northwesterly flow will continue aloft. Temperatures today will

Not much change in the weather through the remainder of the weekend
through late week. The boundary that comes through later Saturday
will bring temperatures down a few degrees for Sunday, and MAY
produce a few showers over the CONTDVD region during the afternoon
Sunday, otherwise it will be dry. Expect temps to be in the pleasant
70s across the region on Sunday.

For all of next week, Mainly dry weather is expected. Only some
scattered showers/storms could occur over the higher terrain during
the Tuesday time frame. Over the plains, max temps Will generally be
in the lower to mid 80s, with the warmest day on the plains expected
Tuesday. Over the CONTDVD region will be consistent through Tuesday,
but from Wednesday onward, temps are forecast to gradually cool into
the weekend.

By late Saturday, statistical guidance is showing the beginning of a
cooler trend as there is a much larger spread in the temps over all
of the CWA on this day. Also POPs start to increase over the mtns by
late Saturday.

region by early next week (beyond OCT 11th). /Hodanish
