.DISCUSSION...
A period of tranquil weather with below normal temperatures begins
today and lingers through Thursday as high pressure builds in
and remains in place across the region. A weak frontal
disturbance will pass by to our north Friday, increasing the
probability of precipitation regionwide as a series of fronts
pass through. Dry, cool conditions return for the weekend and
into the beginning of next week as high pressure returns.
