THE UPPER RIDGE DRIFTS EASTWARD TO OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TUESDAY AND REMAINS GENERALLY IN PLACE THROUGH THURSDAY. DESPITE THE EASTWARD ADVANCE OF THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS...THE RIDGE OVERALL IS SOMEWHAT WEAKER WHICH TRANSLATES TO LESS SUBSIDENCE IN THE REGION AND A GRADUAL INCREASE IN DEEP LAYER MOISTURE OVER THE REGION. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES ROTATE SOUTHWARD DOWN THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE RIDGE AXIS AND AFFECT THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THURSDAY. THE SEA BREEZE DEVELOPS EACH DAY BUT WITH THE LIGHT OVERALL FLOW APPEARS TO MAKE IT ABOUT HALFWAY INTO THE FORECAST AREA EACH AFTERNOON.
