WITH THE STORM SYSTEM/COLD FRONT MAKING PASSAGE, WE'LL CONTINUE
TO SEE SHOWERS ENDING WEST-TO-EAST AND EVENTUALLY NOT TOO LONG
THEREAFTER, CLEARING AS WELL. MUCH COOLER AIR IS WORKING IN, AND
WILL DROP US DOWN INTO THE UPPER 30S IN OUR NORTH AND WEST
TONIGHT. THE NBM DID NOT INSERT FROST BUT ISOLATED/PATCHES IN
FAVORABLE LOCALES IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, PARTICULARLY IN
THE NORTH AND WEST, AS SKIES CLEAR AND WINDS DIMINISH.
THE NEW WEEK BEGINS WITH REFRESHINGLY COOLER AIR, AS HIGHS
STRUGGLE THEIR WAY THRU THE 60S. ANOTHER NIGHT NEAR 40F,
POSSIBLY INTO THE UPPER 30S, IS POSSIBLE AGAIN TMRW NIGHT AS
WELL. AFTER THAT, THE HIGH SHIFTS EAST AND A COMBINATION OF
RETURN FLOW SOUTHERLIES WITH UPPER HEIGHT RISES MAKES FOR A
WARMUP AGAIN FOR THE BACK HALF OF THE WEEK. WE'LL CLIMB BACK
INTO/THRU THE 70S TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY AND THEN SOME 80S WILL MAKE
A REAPPEARANCE. RAIN CHANCES SOON FOLLOW SO LOOK GENERALLY FOR A
DRY/COOL WEEK'S BEGINNING, FOLLOWED BY A WARMER/SLIGHTLY WETTER
WITH RAIN CHANCES WEEK'S ENDING.
