.DISCUSSION...

A cold front has pushed through the region today and will allow a
much cooler, drier airmass to work into the area today through
the weekend. Strong northeasterly transport winds and deeper
mixing will provide good dispersion today and Saturday. Daily
chances of wetting rains return the region beginning Monday
and will continue through most of next week.
