DISCUSSION
AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE REGION THOUGH MUCH OF THIS WEEK.
WE WILL SEE TEMPERATURES ABOVE AVERAGE WITH GENERALLY DAYTIME
HIGHS FROM 90-100 AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 70S, AND RAIN
WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO COME BY FOR MANY AREAS. WINDS WILL BE
CALM TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE OVERNIGHT AND 5-10 MPH OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING THE DAY. LOWEST DAILY RH VALUES
WILL REMAIN IN THE MID 40 TO 60% RANGE THROUGH THE WEEK. THE
UPPER RIDGE ALOFT MAY BEGIN TO WEAKEN LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND
WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR GREATER CONVECTIVE COVERAGE AND MORE NEAR
NORMAL TEMPS.
