WEAK COLD FRONT TONIGHT FOR SHIFTING WINDS

HIGH CLOUDS WILL BEGIN INCREASING TODAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES
THE REGION.  EXPECT WINDS TO COME AROUND TO THE SOUTH TODAY BEFORE
SWITCHING TO THE NORTH OVERNIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY
WARMER TODAY WITH LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY. THE COLD FRONT WILL
SLIDE THROUGH THE BURN AREA OVERNIGHT AND WILL BRING PASSING HIGH
CLOUDS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN STRENGTHEN OVER THE WEEKEND
PROMOTING A WARMING TREND. WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE
NORTHEAST WINDS PICKING UP ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE NEXT BEST
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION MAY BE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
