.DISCUSSION...

KEY MESSAGE 1: A quiet weather pattern is expected through the
week, with temperatures moderating to near normal beginning
Monday.

Bottom line: No hazardous weather is expected through this
week.

High pressure will maintain control of the weather pattern
across the Mid-Atlantic this week, supporting mostly clear
skies and windflow generally from the north-northeast. Latest
data continues to indicate low pressure developing off the
Atlantic coast will remain far enough east so as not to have
significant impact on weather conditions across our area.

Still forecasting Monday early morning temperatures to range
from the upper 20s to the mid 30s across the mountains and
foothills, which will support another round of frost that may
damage or kill sensitive vegetation. Thereafter, temperatures
will gradually moderate to near-normal for the remainder of the
week.
