.DISCUSSION...

...Hot Weather Through The Week, with Gradual Cooling Through the Weekend...


High pressure will continue to dominate the area for the next
several days as the large upper level ridge starts to finally
break down starting Wednesday. As the upper level ridge starts
to show some cracks on Wednesday, widespread subsidence will
finally lower allowing some more widespread shower and
thunderstorm activity. Isolated to scattered shower and
thunderstorm activity is expected through the end of the week as
a back door front pushes in from the northeast, and becomes
stationary across the Mason Dixon line. There are no fire weather concerns
at this time as minimum RH values remain elevated, and winds remain 
light.
