OTHERWISE SOME DRYING IS STILL EXPECTED OVER EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA AS WELL AS A WARMING TREND AREAWIDE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE WARM ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA TOMORROW AND AGAIN FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOW A SIMILAR EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER PATTERN THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK... THERE REMAIN SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES ON THE LOW-LEVEL IMPACTS OF THE WEATHER.
