228 PM EDT FRI APR 26 2024
DISCUSSION
UPPER RIDGING AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH
MONDAY KEEPING THE REGION WARM AND DRY. DESPITE THE EXTENDED
PERIOD OF DRIER CONDITIONS, SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW SHOULD KEEP RH
VALUES ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS. THE PRIMARY CONCERN SATURDAY MORNING
WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW CLOUDS AND/OR PATCHY FOG WITH
GUIDANCE SHOWING THE THICKEST CLOUD COVER OVER THE NORTHEASTERN
FA. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER FOG OR LOW CLOUDS DEVELOP, CLOUD BASES
ARE EXPECTED TO RISE AND BECOME EITHER SCATTERED CUMULUS OR
STRATOCUMULUS BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN IS
CURRENTLY EXPECTED ON TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION.
FOG POTENTIAL: PATCHY
