SURFACE COLD FRONT HAS COMPLETELY CLEARED THE AREA LEAVING A
COOLER AND NOTICEABLY LESS HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE. TRAILING
STRATUS IS ALSO DEPARTING STAGE SOUTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
SHOULD SET THE STAGE FOR A FAIRLY BENIGN STRETCH OF WEATHER
THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS AND HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 60S. BY SUNDAY LOWER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST OF
THE AREA AND OUR WINDS SHIFT MORE SOUTHWESTERLY LEADING TO A
WARMING TREND.
THE MAIN ITEM OF INTEREST CURRENTLY IN THE SEVEN-DAY PERIOD IS A
STORM SYSTEM INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK. DECENT MOISTURE
RETURN IS PRESENT AND SOMEWHAT CONSISTENT AND IT LOOKS LIKE A
FAIR CHANCE FOR RAIN/THUNDER IN THAT PERIOD, BUT TOO FAR INTO
THE FUTURE/TOO INCONSISTENT RUN TO RUN TO SAY MUCH FOR NOW.
