NEXT WEEK WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY RIDGING FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS
TO THE MID ATLANTIC...WITH A CLOSED LOW SLOWLY TRAVERSING THE
CENTRAL PLAINS AND MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL
WILL BE LIMITED DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD DUE TO RATHER WEAK
SYNOPTIC WIND FIELDS. THE BEST TIME-FRAME FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS (SLIGHT
