DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE
OVERALL PATTERN THROUGH MOST--IF NOT ALL--OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.
THIS WILL RESULT IN MINIMAL DAY TO DAY CHANGES WITH ABOVE NORMAL
HIGH TEMPERATURES, UNSEASONABLY LOW DAYTIME HUMIDITIES AND POOR TO
MODERATE RECOVERIES. A SUBTLE PATTERN CHANGE IS POSSIBLE LATER
THIS WEEK WHICH COULD BRING SLIGHTLY BETTER MIXING AND HIGHER
HUMIDITIES, BUT OVERALL, DRY CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH.
