DISCUSSION
DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS
WITH PARTLY SUNNY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WINDS WILL REMAIN GENERALLY
LIGHT TODAY, BUT WILL STRENGTHEN OUT OF THE NORTHEAST LATE TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THESE WINDS WILL LIGHTEN UP AND BECOME VARIABLE
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON TUESDAY. IN THE OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK, A STRONG FRONT ALONG THE COAST ON TUESDAY WILL RAPIDLY WEAKEN
AND LIFT INLAND WEDNESDAY, BRINGING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS, BUT ANY
PRECIPITATION WOULD BE LIGHT. THERE IS A BETTER CHANCE FOR A PERIOD
OF RAIN SOMETIME THURSDAY OR FRIDAY, BUT ANYTHING THAT FALLS LOOKS
LIKE IT WILL BE LIGHT. WHILE THIS WEEK LOOKS DRIER THAN LAST WEEK,
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COOLER THAN NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
