VERY BROAD AREA OF UPPER RIDGING REMAINS IN PLACE MID ATLANTIC
STATES THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH AN UPPER LOW OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST. MEANWHILE, WHAT IS LEFT OF EDOUARD IS STILL
SPINNING OVER SOUTHEAST TX.
WE HAD A FEW SHOWERS EARLY THIS MORNING WEST OF I-135 ALONG A
MID LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE. NOT EXPECTING THIS SAME SCENARIO FRI
MORNING, AS THE BETTER MID LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT SHIFTS
SLIGHTLY WEST. UNFORTUNATELY UPPER RIDGING IS EXPECTED TO
AMPLIFY ACROSS THE PLAINS AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WHICH WILL
KEEP THE UNSEASONABLY HOT TEMPERATURES IN PLACE.
THERE IS DECENT MODEL AGREEMENT IN AN UPPER IMPULSE LIFTING OUT
OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES BY TUE
MORNING. AS THIS WAVE CONTINUES TO SLIDE EAST, IT WILL ALLOW A
COLD FRONT TO PUSH THROUGH THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS, BUT
UNFORTUNATELY DOESN'T LOOK TO MAKE IT INTO CENTRAL KS. WITH
COMPRESSIONAL HEATING EFFECTS, IT LOOKS LIKE TUE MAY BE ONE OF
THE HOTTER DAYS THROUGH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. PERSISTENT UPPER
RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE MID TO END OF NEXT WEEK,
KEEPING DAILY HIGHS AROUND 100, WHICH IS AROUND 10-13 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL HIGHS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
