OF THE HEAT/HUMIDITY SOUTH OF THE REGION. FIRST DISTURBANCE WILL
BE THE FRONT THAT MOVES OFFSHORE TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY A RIDGE OF HIGH

STILL WATCHING TSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER NY STATE ATTM IN WARM
SECTOR AHEAD OF THE FRONT. EXPECTING THIS SCT CONVECTION TO MOVE
THRU THE CWA...ESPECIALLY SRN AREAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
EVE. SO FAR...STORMS DO NOT LOOK ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE ATTM...BUT
SIGNIFICANT AREA OF CLEARING OVER SRN NH AND EXPANDING
EWD...COULD ENHANCE INSTABILITY....AND ALLOW FOR POTENTIALLY
STRONG STORMS. TDS ALSO ON THEIR WAY UP...AND SHOULD TOP OUT AT
MID-UPPR 60S OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. STORMS LOOK TO HAVE A
MORE SCT NATURE TO THEM....SO NOT EXPECTING EVERYBODY TO SEE ONE.

SFC FRONT LOOKS TO PASS ACROSS REGION DURING THE EVENING...AND
TIMING OF FRONT...COMBINED WITH LACK OF WIND...SUGGEST THAT LOWER
TDS WILL NOT MIX DOWN OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN UNTIL MIXING BEGINS

SHOULD SEE A SEA BREEZE DEVELOP IN THE COASTAL ZONES DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

&&

CHANCE OF SHOWERS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. CONDITIONS CLEAR OUT WEDNESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WITH ANOTHER THREAT OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSHOWERS
EXPECTED LATER FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY AS NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES.
HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHES SATURDAY AND SHOULD BRING DRY CONDITIONS
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES
CLOSER TO NORMAL THIS WEEK ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO LAST WEEKS HOT
REGIME. HUMIDITY...THOUGH NOTICEABLE...WON'T BE QUITE AS STICKY
AS LAST WEEK WITH DAILY DEW POINTS IN THE 60S. DEW POINTS DROPS BACK
