DISCUSSION
 
 
ISSUED AT 305 AM EST SUN NOV 17 2024  
 
ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH A COOL DRY START TO THE MORNING. OVERALL,  
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY. HIGH  
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE KEEPING THE AREA IN THIS PLEASANT  
PATTERN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE  
EACH DAY, BUT HUMIDITY SHOULD REMAIN LOWER. BY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO  
WEDNESDAY, THE PATTERN GETS SHAKEN UP BY THE REMNANT MOISTURE AND  
ENERGY OF TROPICAL STORM SARA BEING PUSHED OUT AHEAD A AN  
APPROACHING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS WILL INCREASE RAIN CHANCES FOR  
THE AREA, MAINLY WEDNESDAY. FOLLOWING THE REMNANTS OF SARA, A  
STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH BRINGING A BLAST OF MUCH  
COOLER AIR TO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY DROP INTO THE 40S  
AS WE MOVE INTO THE WEEKEND, WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER  
70S. THESE COOLER TEMPERATURES COULD STICK AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS.
