.DISCUSSION...A cold front is pushing through the region this
morning and will exit to the southeast by late morning.
Temperatures today will remain in the low to mid 80s over most of
the region, but dew points will begin to decrease. In the
afternoon, efficient mixing will bring down some drier air and
dew points in the low 50s. Winds will gust up to 25mph at the
surface. Will see excellent mixing and dispersion today.
This trend will continue Monday through at least Thursday. Each
afternoon, ample mixing will bring down drier air and surface dew
points in the low 40s. Some areas will likely see dew points as
low as the mid-to-upper 30s. Very abnormal for this time of year.
Surface winds will also gust up to 20mph. Transport winds will
remain steady out of the northwest. Therefore, excellent mixing
and dispersion will continue through the week.
High pressure over the region will keep dry weather and mostly
sunny skies through the week. We are next expecting any rain
through at least Friday.
