VALID 00Z MON NOV 02 2009 - 12Z TUE NOV 03 2009
THE CURRENT WEATHER SETUP IS INDICATIVE OF A MUCH DRIER PATTERN
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THE OCCLUDED SYSTEM CENTERED NORTH OF
THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EASTWARD
THIS EVENING...REACHING THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY EARLY MORNING
MONDAY. PRECIPITATION WITH THIS RAPIDLY MOVING SYSTEM WILL REMAIN
LIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER STATES AND INTO CANADA...AS IT
MOVES TO THE EAST. PRECIPITATION WILL BE NON-EXISTENT ALONG THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THIS BOUNDARY PRIMARILY DUE TO AN AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE ALONG THE GULF OF MEXICO...BLOCKING MOIST AIR RETURN FLOW
FROM THE GULF.
A STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE IS CURRENTLY SITUATED ACROSS THE
EASTERN THIRD OF THE LOWER 48 STATES...BRINGING PREDOMINATELY DRY
CONDITIONS TO AN AREA THAT HAS RECEIVED MUCH MORE PRECIPITATION
THAN AVERAGE OVER THE PAST MONTH. THOUGH TEMPERATURES REMAIN BELOW
AVERAGE FOR THE AREA...THE BREAK FROM EXCESSIVE RAIN AND FLOODING
CONDITIONS WILL BE A WELCOME CHANGE. THE WESTERN U.S. WILL ALSO
REMAIN PREDOMINANTLY DRY THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE SOUTHWEST WILL FORCE FRONTS
APPROACHING THE WEST COAST TO LIFT NORTHWARD...KEEPING SKIES
MOSTLY CLEAR AND HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THE AREA ABOVE AVERAGE FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR.
