AN UPPER RIDGE WILL ENVELOP MUCH OF THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE

SOUTHWEST. MEANWHILE, AN UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE OFFSHORE THE ATLANTIC

REMAIN CUT-OFF AS HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTS OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE CONUS. AFTER 00Z, WEAK SURFACE LEE TROUGHING ACROSS THE HIGH

HOWEVER THIS MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN SHALLOW AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED GIVEN WEAK FORCING AND WARM MIDLEVEL
TEMPERATURES.
