KEY MESSAGE 1
HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR WILL BE GRADUALLY BUILDING IN
ACROSS FROM THE WEST LATER IN THE OVERNIGHT SETTING UP A DRY
DAY WEDNESDAY WITH A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE. IT WILL BE LESS
HUMID WITH DEW POINTS PRIMARILY BACK INTO THE 50S.
KEY MESSAGE 2
THE NEXT SHORTWAVE AND FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACH THE AREA THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY LEADING TO THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS. POPS INCREASE ONCE AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY AS THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY WORKS ITS WAY SOUTH THROUGH
THE REGION. SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS AS TO HOW QUICKLY
CONDITIONS IMPROVE WITH THE TIMING AND PROGRESSION OF THE
BOUNDARY. OUTSIDE ANY LOCALIZED HEAVY DOWNPOURS, SIGNIFICANT
SEVERE OR HYDROLOGICAL HAZARDS APPEAR UNLIKELY WITH THIS SYSTEM.
GLOBAL GUIDANCE IS THEN IN BETTER AGREEMENT THAT CONDITIONS
IMPROVE BY SUNDAY, WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAVING PROGRESSED
FAR ENOUGH SOUTH. THEREAFTER, MID LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE MIDWEST
BEGINS TO AMPLIFY, WHICH SHOULD DRIVE INCREASING TEMPERATURES
EARLY NEXT WEEK. AFTERNOON HIGHS INTO THE 80S, AND PERHAPS LOWER
90S FOR PARTS OF THE URBAN NYC METRO, LOOK LIKELY INTO MID NEXT
WEEK.
