DISCUSSION
High pressure remains in place both aloft and at the surface, keeping warm and dry conditions over the region through the next week. The main story will be the high temperatures over the next several days. While dew points will remain mostly in the 50s and 60s, temperatures will climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s through the weekend and then a few degrees higher into next week. Looking at record highs, there will likely be several instances of tying records or breaking them at a variety of locations across the area through the next week. Otherwise, dry spring weather continues.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
