SEVERAL DAYS AS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT REMAINS ENTRENCHED OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS.  COULD SEE A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS

SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR TRIES TO WORK INTO THE AREA ON SATURDAY AS

UPPER RIDGE HOWEVER WILL REMAIN OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND WILL
LIKELY BE THE DOMINATE FEATURE AS ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUE
INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.  UPPER RIDGE DOES SLOWLY WEAKEN
WITH TIME AND BEGINS TO SHIFT EAST...SO LOWERED HIGH TEMPS BY A
DEGREE OR SO EACH DAY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED PERIODS.
