 .DISCUSSION...
 High pressure building surface and aloft maintains mainly dry 
 weather throughout the extended Holiday weekend, but with increasing 
 heat. The humidity will remain on the more manageable side, with 
 heat indices generally staying under the 100 degree mark for all but 
 a few areas, mainly urban spots and on Sunday.
 
 The next work week will be characterized by a transition to a more 
 unsettled weather pattern, as the dominant high will be replaced by 
 an approaching frontal system from the west. This will lead to an 
 increased chance for mainly diurnal showers and thunderstorms. It 
 will still be hot on Monday, ahead of the initial approach of the 
 cold front, with lowland heat indices possibly getting up to around 
 100 degrees before thunderstorms form.
