However, a strong storm can't be ruled out this afternoon. Cold air behind this system will result in a rather cool night across the area, and set up a cool start for tomorrow. However, that will be short-lived as a warming trend is expected over the next few days. By mid week, temperature will balance out around or slightly below seasonal norms. Ensemble guidance points some ridging across the Western States, so expect a dry forecast without a lot of temperature changes in the extended. && .AVIATION...
