Synopsis
A quiet weather day is expected for both districts. A prominent mid to upper-level ridge with associated high pressure will begin to dominate the western United States and influence our region today. At the surface, a broad area of high pressure will sit over the Dakotas, generating light winds out of the north and northwest. This wind flow pattern wrapping around the surface high will bring warmer, dryer air to the region today. Expect temperatures to be in the mid 80s in both districts today, with dewpoints in the low 50s in district 2 and upper 40s in district 1. Given this relatively large temperature to dewpoint difference, the presence of the surface high pressure, and extremely dry mid-levels, expect a stable atmosphere, and no sigificant weather during the entire forecast period.
