THE EASTERN US. TEMPERATURES WILL TREND WARMER STARTING TODAY
AND BECOME MORE SEASONABLE. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 50S AND
60S WHILE LOWS WILL BE IN THE 30S AND 40S. A SLIGHT COOL DOWN
WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE IN THE WEEK AS A COLD AIRMASS DROPS IN

COLDER AIR WILL EXTEND. SKIES WILL BE CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. EACH NIGHT, CONDITIONS MAY BECOME FAVORABLE
FOR VALLEY FOG DEVELOPMENT.
