WILL SHIFT OVER THE EASTERN CONUS THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. THIS
RIDGE WILL CONTINUE MOVING EASTWARD OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC THIS
WEEKEND AS A POSITIVELY-TILTED UPPER TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES
SWINGS EASTWARD, BECOMING NEGATIVELY-TILTED OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS BY NOON SUNDAY. THIS TROUGH WILL THEN LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES REGION. DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST TODAY
THROUGH EASTER MORNING, FOLLOWED BY SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE INCREASING TO 20-30% SUNDAY AFTERNOON WEST OF THE ALABAMA
RIVER, AND THEN DROPS OFF SUNDAY NIGHT. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS FOLLOW FOR MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE
ENERGY ARRIVES FROM THE WEST.
A SURFACE RIDGE SETTING UP ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL
LARGELY PERSIST THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD, KEEPING A
LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW INTACT. THIS WILL RESULT IN A GRADUAL RETURN
IN BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE SETTING UP A POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY LATE
NIGHT FOG DEVELOPMENT. THIS SIGNAL IS SHOWING UP FROM THE SHORT
RANGE ENSEMBLES IN FOG PROBABILITIES FOR FRIDAY NIGHT, INCREASING
UP TO 40-60% AFTER 3 AM NORTH OF I-10, CONTINUING TO SHORTLY AFTER
DAYBREAK. WE MAY NEED TO MONITOR FOR A POSSIBLE DENSE FOG
ADVISORY.

TIMES MUCH ABOVE NORMAL) THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, WITH
HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S INLAND AND UPPER 70S ALONG THE
COAST. SOME HIGH TEMPS MAY APPROACH 90 DEGREES OVER THE WEEKEND.
LOWS WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S INLAND BY THE
