STATES THROUGH MONDAY AS AN UPPER TROF JUST OFF THE EAST COAST
DRIFTS A BIT FURTHER EASTWARD. THE UPPER RIDGE/TROF PATTERN SHIFTS
SLOWLY EASTWARD THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH THE UPPER RIDGE MEANWHILE
DAMPENING AND BECOMING ORIENTED NEAR THE EAST COAST. THE UPPER
RIDGE THEN REBUILDS OVER THE EASTERN STATES GOING INTO FRIDAY. A
SURFACE RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE REGION FOR THE MOST PART AND
PROMOTES A PREVAILING NORTHEASTERLY FLOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH THE PERIOD. DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY,
AND IT'S POSSIBLE THAT SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY AFFECT THE
WESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA NEXT SATURDAY. HIGHS OF SUNDAY AND
MONDAY RANGE FROM THE MID 70S TO AROUND 80, THEN UPPER 70S TO
