A LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA TODAY INTO
FRIDAY BEFORE WEAKENING AND MOVING SOUTHWEST AS AN UPPER TROUGH
DIGS ACROSS THE EASTERN STATES. THIS WILL MAINTAIN DRY CONDITIONS
WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH FRIDAY. LIGHT WINDS AND INCREASING
SFC MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUND OF PATCHY DENSE FOG
TONIGHT ACROSS THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT, BRINGING A DRIER AIRMASS INTO THE AREA AND KNOCKING
TEMPS BACK DOWN TO NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. NO RAIN IS
EXPECTED WITH THE FRONT DUE TO THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT DEEP LAYER
MOISTURE. THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EASTWARD EARLY NEXT WEEK,
MAINTAINING DRY CONDITIONS WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS RETURNING. BY
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, ENOUGH MOISTURE MAY RETURN TO THE AREA FOR
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS TO RETURN TO THE FORECAST. /13
