A COLD FRONT HAS PROGRESSED THROUGH THE AREA. DESPITE
NORTHWESTERLY WIND AND COLD-AIR ADVECTION, TEMPERATURES ARE
RISING NICELY TODAY INTO THE 50S. SOUTHERLY WIND WILL DEVELOP BY
TOMORROW MORNING, USHERING IN ANOTHER WARM DAY. TEMPERATURES
TOMORROW MAY NOT BE QUITE AS WARM AS THE SETUP WOULD NORMALLY
PRODUCE DUE TO SOME CLOUD COVER DEVELOPING AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING FRONT. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT, BUT WILL LIKELY DO LITTLE MORE THAN SHIFT THE
WIND TO THE NORTHWEST AND BRING SOME SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR INTO
THE AREA. THERE ARE SOME HINTS THAT WE MAY SEE SOME FLURRIES,
BUT WITH MOISTURE BEING SO LIMITED WE WOULD BE HARD-PRESSED TO
GET EVEN THAT. YET ANOTHER FRONT IS FORECAST FOR THURSDAY NIGHT.
AGAIN, THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE AND LIFT IS FAVORED TO BE OFF
TO OUR EAST. THIS FRONT MAY HAVE A STRONGER PUNCH OF COLD AIR
BEHIND IT AND KEEP TEMPERATURES AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FOR
FRIDAY.
