DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1: WARMING TEMPS INTO THE WEEKEND BUT WITH DRY
CONDITIONS. DIURNAL RAIN CHANCES RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND DEEP RIDGING WILL DOMINATE THE PATTERN
OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. FOLLOWING A RELATIVELY DRY
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH WELL BELOW AVERAGE PWAT'S AND SURFACE DEW
POINTS, MOISTURE RETURNS WITH SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE AREA
ALONG WITH STEADILY BUILDING HEIGHTS; 90TH PERCENTILE HEIGHTS AND
TEMPS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE PERIOD, SO TEMPS UP AROUND 90
F IS LIKELY EACH DAY. RAIN CHANCES HOLD OFF UNTIL MONDAY WHEN WE
REACH SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FOR DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS
AND STORMS. DIURNAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED
MOST DAYS NEXT WEEK WITH A FAIRLY TYPICALLY SUMMER PATTERN IN
PLACE.
AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
VFR CONDITIONS REMAIN LIKELY THROUGH THE 24 HOUR TAF PERIOD.
DRY HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS ACROSS THE REGION. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT
AND VARIABLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, AND OUT OF THE
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WITH SPEEDS AROUND 6 KNOTS THROUGH THE DAY. SKIES
REMAINING MOSTLY CLEAR, WITH POSSIBLY A FEW THIN CIRRUS PASSING
ACROSS THE REGION. WITH THE DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE, DO NOT EXPECT ANY
FOG FORMATION TONIGHT.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO HANG ON THROUGH
THE WEEKEND WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. SOME INCREASE IN
MOISTURE AND RAIN CHANCES MONDAY INTO TUESDAY COULD BRING PERIODS OF
RESTRICTIONS IN SHOWERS/STORMS.
