DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1... Gradually moderating temperatures into early next week. It should be mainly dry, except for possibly some light showers from late Wednesday into Thursday. No significant impacts are expected through Monday of next week.
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... The vertically stacked trof will begin to move over the region tonight. This will continue to provide a pipeline of cold air into the area, causing temps to be well below normal with teens in the north and 20s in the south tonight.
The region is under NW flow aloft Wednesday through Saturday night. A northern stream closed low passing to the north, then northeast Wednesday through Thursday could bring some light rain or snow showers (just rain showers at the coast), with little or no measurable snowfall and less than 1/4 of an inch of liquid equivalent expected. Otherwise it should be dry from Wednesday through Saturday night, with gradually moderating temperatures.
Deep layered ridging builds in Sunday through Monday with continued dry conditions and near to slightly above normal temperatures.
