Service.

.DISCUSSION...A fairly strong but dry cold front will approach the
area and move through Saturday mid afternoon to evening. Ahead of
the front, very mild temperatures will result in low minimum
relative humidity values, and winds will pick up and become fairly
gusty. Generally anticipate gusts in the 30-35 mph range, but
some gusts as high as 40 mph or so will be possible, especially
just prior to frontal passage. After the front passes, winds will
begin to shift west and eventually northwesterly, remaining gusty
for a period before finally relaxing somewhat overnight.
Temperatures cool for Sunday, but with no precipitation expected,
minimum relative humidity values remain low. Winds remain
northwesterly with some gusts picking up during the day.

Through the upcoming week, current forecast carries high pressure
and dry conditions into the start of the work week, with
potential for a fairly weak low to lift through by midweek or so.
Less certainty noted towards the end of the work week, but pattern
generally supports a return to ridging and dry conditions. Over
the course of the next 14 days, above normal temperatures and
below normal precipitation is favored.
