.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure rules the roost today into much of the new week,
yielding a stretch of dry weather, and gradually warming
temperatures.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 1238 PM Sunday...
Surface high pressure overhead tonight, with cool and calm
conditions, and fog developing overnight, particularly in favored
river valleys. After fog burns off Monday morning, looking at a
sunny dry day, with high temperatures generally in the 70s across
much of the area. With the dry airmass in place, afternoon relative
humidities look to dip into the upper 20s to lower 30s. Light
surface winds and recent rains should keep any fire weather concerns
at bay for the most part.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 1238 PM Sunday...
Surface high pressure shifts east Monday night into Tuesday with
continued dry conditions, and a gradual warm up in temperatures
during the short term period. Afternoons will continue to be
characterized by low RH, but winds look to remain generally light
during the period. River valley fog will be possible overnight/early
mornings during the period.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 1238 PM Sunday...
Dry weather looks to continue in the long term. A weak disturbance
passing along our western border Thursday could produce a few
sprinkles, but main effect should just be a slight uptick in cloud
cover. Otherwise, with upper ridge nudging east into our area as we
round out the extended, temperatures will rebound back to seasonal
levels.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 115 PM Sunday...
VFR with light surface winds through 06Z Monday when LIFR/VLIFR
river valley fog is expected to develop. Fog will dissipate
after 13Z with a return of VFR conditions with light surface
winds.
