.DISCUSSION...

Surface high pressure building into the region today will dry
out the area through at least Tuesday before the next system
potentially approaches the area. During this time, upper level
ridging will build over the Southeast, which will lead to a
general warming trend across the region. An unsettled weather
pattern looks to return to the southeast during the middle of 
the week. There are currently no fire weather concerns.
