LONGER RANGE

Ridging begins to work into the area from the west over the course of the weekend and temperatures respond by climbing into the lower-70s by Sunday. Under the northwest flow resultant of being on the eastern side of the H5 ridge, the area should be subject to occasional shortwaves and regular opportunities for early May showers next week.
