   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 OVERNIGHT BRINGING 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.
