THROUGH SATURDAY: SLIGHTLY WARMER AND CONTINUED DRY THROUGH THE
PERIOD. THE SURFACE RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN NOSING WEST ACROSS THE GULF
COAST STATES WILL WEAKEN BUT REMAIN DOMINANT THROUGH SATURDAY. MID
LEVEL RIDGING WILL STRENGTHEN OVER OUR REGION THROUGH SATURDAY. THE
RIDGING SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL HELP MAINTAIN OUR DRY WEATHER AND
HELP TEMPERATURES BOTTOM OUT A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER TONIGHT AND TOP
OUT A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH THE AFTERNOON HIGHS
WILL BE QUITE WARM, THE ONLY CLIMATE SITE THAT IS FORECAST TO BE
NEAR RECORD HIGH IS AT GREENWOOD. PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE
SOUTH EARLY SATURDAY MORNING BUT DENSE FOG IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
/22/
FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD...
A STRONG RIDGE WILL HAVE SETTLED OVER THE REGION, WITH A STRONG JET
PUSHING VARIOUS WAVES JUST TO THE NORTH AND WEST PERIPHERY OF THE
CWA. THAT BEING SAID, IF THE AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE SHIFTS MORE
EASTERLY THE TRACK OF THOSE IMPULSES COULD RESULT IN SOME SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SKIRTING OUR FAR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES,
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
WITH HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING, DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE
RULE OF THE FORECAST. FIRE WEATHER AND DROUGHT CONCERNS MAY BECOME
ELEVATED AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH MID WEEK NEXT WEEK, DUE TO THE
ENTRENCHED DRY AIR REGIME.
HIGHS WILL HOVER IN THE MID 80S THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD,
CREEPING INTO THE HIGH 80S BY DAY 7, WITH LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER
60S./OAJ/
