FORECAST:
An upper ridge will continue to bring warm sunny weather into at least Tuesday. A Northerly flow aloft will bring light winds and a FL reaching 3200 + meters today. Warmer temperatures can be expected Saturday thru Monday. The ridge will begin to migrate Eastward on Tuesday with an upper trough expected to push into the area Tuesday night into Wednesday. Models are in a disagreement on precipitation amounts so on the fence for now, it could be relatively dry but only time will tell. Hoping to post on most Friday's through out the summer but will depend on my location and internet abilities.
