Forecast Discussion

Valleys will be colder the next couple nights as excellent radiaitonal cooling conditions (clear nights, calm wind) continue.

There isn't much to write home about in the weather department this week as high pressure rules the roost for the eastern third of the nation. Afternoon temperatures modify each day by a handful of degrees through Friday. Morning temperatures do the same, just a hair slower. The weekend is incredible!

The next front comes through a week from today. Clouds increase late Sunday with showers developing in the predawn hours Monday. Monday through Tuesday morning are wet followed by a significant cooldown for the middle of next week.
