DISCUSSION

BUNDLE THOSE KIDS UP BEFORE SCHOOL THIS MORNING AS TEMPERATURES
WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 20S TO MID 30S ACROSS THE REGION. DESPITE
THE COOL START TO THE DAY, TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND NICELY AS
AFTERNOON HIGHS REACH INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. THE WARMER
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE FELT ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES, WHERE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN. BY FRIDAY, HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BE IN FULL CONTROL OF OUR REGION, HELPING TEMPERATURES CLIMB
BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S ACROSS THE REGION. WE WILL SEE A
WEAK COOL FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY, THAT WILL RETURN THE
REGION BACK INTO THE 60S FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON, BUT NEVER FEAR,
THE LOWER TO MID 70S RETURN TO THE ENTIRE REGION FOR SUNDAY AND
WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY.
A LARGE UPPER-LEVEL CLOSED LOW WILL BE MOVING THROUGH BAJA
CALIFORNIA ON MONDAY BEFORE RAPIDLY EJECTING TO THE NORTHEAST INTO
TUESDAY. AS THIS FEATURE WEAKENS AND MOVES THROUGH TEXAS, WE WILL
SEE PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASE ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS
WILL BE OUR ONLY PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF
THIS FORECAST PERIOD, AND THE MODELS STILL HAVE SOME DISAGREEMENT
ON TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE RAINFALL, THINGS THAT WILL COME MORE
INTO VIEW AS WE GET CLOSER. THE NEXT MAJOR SYSTEM FALLS OUTSIDE OF
THIS FORECAST PERIOD, BUT SOMETHING WORTH WATCHING TOWARDS NEXT
WEEKEND. /33/
