AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE THAT IS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE GREATER
REGION IS SPARKING OFF SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS THE AREA.
THIS WILL WILL MOVE EAST AS THE DAY CONTINUES AND THE SHOWER
ACTIVITY SHOULD TAPER OFF AS WELL DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. LOWS
TONIGHT WILL BE CLOSE TO NORMAL WITH VALUES IN THE UPPER 40S TO
AROUND 50F.
WE WILL BE IN BETWEEN WEATHER SYSTEMS SUNDAY WITH SPLIT FLOW
ALOFT. THE NET RESULT IS A DRIER AND WARMER FORECAST. HIGHS
SUNDAY SHOULD PEAK IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S WITH LOWS MAINLY IN
THE 50S.
LOOKING AT THE NEXT BUSINESS WEEK, THE MODELS AND THE ENSEMBLE
COUNTERPARTS ARE FORECASTING SEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES AND
PERIOD STORM CHANCES. SEVERE GEFS AND ENS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
INDICATE ACCUMULATING RAINFALL NEXT WEEK. WE CERTAINLY HOPE
THIS COMES TRUE AS OUR DROUGHT CONTINUES TO EXPAND AND GET
WORSE IN CATEGORY.
