DISCUSSION
HOT CONDITIONS WITH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TUESDAY. A FRONT WILL BE PUSHING INTO

THIS WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES UP NEXT WEEK WITH POSSIBLE COLD
AIR DAMMING SETTING UP ACROSS THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT.
THIS WOULD BRING CLOUD COVER, LIGHT DRIZZLE OR RAIN, ALONG
WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA. BY THE END OF THE
WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND, LOOK FOR CLEARER SKIES WITH DRY
WEATHER MOVING BACK IN.
FOG POTENTIAL EARLY THIS MORNING AND TONIGHT: PATCHY FOG
