FRIDAY BEFORE WEAKENING AND MOVING SOUTHWEST AS AN UPPER TROUGH
DIGS ACROSS THE EASTERN STATES. THIS WILL MAINTAIN DRY CONDITIONS
WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH FRIDAY. LIGHT WINDS AND INCREASING
SFC MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUND OF PATCHY DENSE FOG
TONIGHT ACROSS THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT, BRINGING A DRIER AIRMASS INTO THE AREA AND KNOCKING
TEMPS BACK DOWN TO NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. NO RAIN IS
EXPECTED WITH THE FRONT DUE TO THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT DEEP LAYER

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS TO RETURN TO THE FORECAST. /13
