524 PM EDT MON MAR 9 2009

FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 0930 EDT ON MARCH 10.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE, CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER

.DISCUSSION...LOOK FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE DAY OF WARM WEATHER AS HIGH
PRESSURE SLIDING TO THE EAST OF THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO PULL THE
WARM AIR NORTH. ALONG WITH THE WARM AIR WILL BE THE RETURNING FRONTAL
BOUNDARY THAT BROUGHT THE RAIN SUNDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH THERE HAS NOT
BEEN MUCH TIME FOR THE ATMOSPHERE TO RECHARGE...THERE IS ENOUGH
MOISTURE RIDING WITH THE WARMER TEMPERATURES TO PROVIDE A LOW RISK
OF RAIN FOR MAINLY OUR WESTERN AND NORTHERN COUNTIES TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY. THEN A BETTER SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL BRING LIKELY SHOWERS
ALONG WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. THE SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL DROP TEMPERATURES FOR THE MID
WEEK PERIOD WITH HIGHS IN THE 50S ON WEDNESDAY AND IN THE 40S BY
THURSDAY.
