KEY MESSAGE 1
LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH OUT OF THE AREA TUESDAY AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST THROUGH
THE REST OF THE WEEK. WHILE A STRAY POP-UP SHOWER REMAINS
POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON, MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED MUCH OF THE REST OF THIS WEEK.
MUCH OF THE GLOBAL MODELING REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A
QUICK WARMING TREND WILL IMPACT THE AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
BEFORE A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE COOLS THINGS OFF AGAIN INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT AND THE WEEKEND. THE NBM IS TRENDING UP WITH HIGHS IN THE
70S AND LOWER 80S, BUT 16-18C AT H85 COMBINED WITH PROGGED WLY
COMPONENT WINDS WOULD SUPPORT HIGHS NEAR 90, ESPECIALLY THE
USUAL WARMER SPOTS IN NJ AND NY.
