DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1: Above seasonal temperatures and dry conditions will prevail throughout the week. A cold front will bring cooler temperatures this weekend.
Now that the front has moved through and the remnants of Isaias are now out of our hair, drier and warmer conditions will move into the area. High pressure will build over the central US through the early half of the week and slowly build eastward by the end of the week. This will lead to dry conditions through the work week and the only concern will be for near record highs given the strength of the upper ridge. Temperatures by the end of the week will be in the upper 80s to maybe even 90 degrees across some interior areas. This will certainly flirt with some record highs as we go through the week. By the weekend, our next system will swing through as the upper trough breaks down and a cold front moves through the area bringing significantly cooler conditions to the area.
