AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE THAT IS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE GREATER
REGION IS SPARKING OFF SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS THE AREA.
THIS WILL MOVE EAST AS THE DAY CONTINUES AND THE SHOWER ACTIVITY
SHOULD TAPER OFF AS WELL DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. LOWS TONIGHT WILL
BE CLOSE TO NORMAL WITH VALUES IN THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50F.
WE WILL BE IN BETWEEN WEATHER SYSTEMS SUNDAY WITH SPLIT FLOW
ALOFT. THE NET RESULT IS A DRIER AND WARMER FORECAST. HIGHS
SUNDAY SHOULD PEAK IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S WITH LOWS MAINLY IN
THE 50S.
LOOKING AT THE NEXT BUSINESS WEEK, THE MODELS AND THE ENSEMBLE
COUNTERPARTS ARE FORECASTING SEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES AND
PERIODIC STORM CHANCES. SEVERAL GEFS AND ENS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
INDICATE ACCUMULATING RAINFALL NEXT WEEK. WE CERTAINLY HOPE THIS
COMES TRUE AS OUR DROUGHT CONTINUES TO EXPAND AND GET WORSE IN
CATEGORY.
