RIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BE IN CONTROL ACROSS THE AREA, WHICH
IS RESULTING IN ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND LIGHT WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON. FOR TONIGHT, WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS, IDEAL
RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS WILL BE PRESENT. LOWS ARE
EXPECTED TO MAINLY BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S, BUT PARTS OF
