IN A RATHER WET PATTERN FOR THE SHORT TERM. AN UPPER LOW WILL BE IN
PLACE OVER THE REGION WITH DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH THIS FLOW
BRINGING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE AREA WITH
PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO FEED INTO THE EQUATION. A FRONT TO THE N OF
THE AREA WILL WASH OUT BEFORE REACHING THE CWFA...HOWEVER...ANOTHER
FRONT WILL COME QUICKLY BEHIND IT AND PUSH THROUGH THE REGION FOR
THE MOST PART BY LATE SUN. THIS FRONT IS PROGGED TO BE RATHER ROBUST
AND LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE THE FIRST GOOD PUSH OF COOLER AIR INTO THE
REGION USHERING IN FALL-LIKE CONDITION FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK.
