345 AM EDT SUN MAY 20 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS
TODAY...FOR THE MOST PART...WITH ONLY
A FEW HIGH CLOUDS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA...FROM A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST.
THIS LOW COULD PUSH MOISTURE WESTWARD LATE TONIGHT...PROVIDING A
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS.
MOISTURE FROM THE ATLANTIC SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY...WITH THE BEST CHANCES IN THE
MOUNTAINS.
A COLD FRONT WILL BRING A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS IT PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION. THE SYSTEM WILL
WEAKEN AFTER THAT...BUT THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW QUICKLY IT
WILL ACTUALLY PULL AWAY FROM THE AREA.
AS THE NEXT WEEKEND ARRIVES...EXPECT SOME OF THE WARMEST AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES OF THE YEAR.
