Spot Forecast for HC LGS-28...HC-ELM

241 PM EDT Mon Apr 22 2024

Service.

concerns with this forecast.

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure builds in Tuesday and will produce rain-free
conditions with drier air over the next few days. Some critical RH
values will persist starting Tuesday and continuing through the
end of the week and conditions may be on the breezy side. However,
conditions do not currently support red flag criteria.

This warm, dry pattern looks to persist for awhile. The current
7-day forecast has no rain, and longer term guidance suggests this
trend may very well continue through the end of April and into
early May.
