DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION THIS
WEEK. HIGHS REMAIN IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 70'S TODAY, WITH UPPER
70'S TO LOWER 80'S BECOMING COMMON THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
OVERNIGHT LOWS STAY JUST BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, WITH
MIDDLE TO UPPER 40'S OVER THE INTERIOR AND LOWER 50'S NEARER THE
COAST THROUGH MIDWEEK. LOWS MORE NOTICEABLY WARM TO WELL ABOVE
NORMAL LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND WITH MIDDLE AND UPPER 50'S OVER
THE INTERIOR AND LOWER TO MIDDLE 60'S NEAR THE COAST.
UPPER RIDGING OVER THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY GIVES WAY TO SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT WEDNESDAY. AFTER THIS, RIDGING WILL ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPT
TO BUILD IN AS WE HEAD INTO LATE WEEK BEFORE A MORE PRONOUNCED
TROUGH APPROACHES THE AREA THIS WEEKEND. WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL
BEGIN ACROSS THE AREA LATE WEEK USHERING IN WELL ABOVE NORMAL
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES AND AMPLE MOISTURE INTO THE AREA. SOME
SOLUTIONS ARE A BIT INTRIGUING WITH A MORE PRONOUNCED SOUTHERN
STREAM SHORTWAVE THAT MIGHT TRY TO BRING A SEMI-FAVORABLE OVERLAP
OF SHEAR AND CAPE TO THE REGION, ALTHOUGH THIS IS A BIT OF AN
OUTLIER SOLUTION AT THIS POINT. REGARDLESS, RAIN CHANCES ARE GOING
TO INCREASE THIS WEEKEND WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY WEST OF THE I-65 CORRIDOR. A HIGH
RISK OF RIP CURRENTS CONTINUES TODAY, TAPERING TO A MODERATE RISK
