PUBLIC FORECAST EXPLANATION
ISSUED: 05/16/2008 1722C
A QUIET WEATHER PATTERN UNTIL OUR NEXT STORM SHOWS UP AROUND NEXT THURSDAY.
SURFACE HIGH GOES SOUTHEAST, AND WINDS GO INTO THE SOUTHWEST. ALSO, UPPER AIR HIGH BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL RESULT IN A PRONOUNCED WARMING TREND. A WEAK FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT SHOULD ONLY GIVE US A BRIEF WIND SHIFT. TEMPERATURES SHOULD GO ABOVE NORMAL SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AND LIKELY STAY THERE UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND, WITH ANOTHER PRONOUNCED COOLING TREND AT THAT TIME.
POPS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ARE LOW NOW, BUT WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE INCREASED AS THE EVENT DRAWS NEARER.–RKP
