MOREOVER, UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE PLAINS WILL AID IN CREATING
TEMPERATURES THAT ARE 10 TO 25 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE OVER PARTS OF
THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. COLD AIR
AND CLOUDS WILL CREATE TEMPERATURES 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE
OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE SOUTHEAST.
FURTHERMORE, A FRONT MOVING ONSHORE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY WILL PRODUCE COASTAL RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE
NORTHWEST ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY. AS THE FRONT MOVES
