.DISCUSSION...

A weak ridge of high pressure moving over the region will

bring continued relatively warm conditions to the spot location

on Friday. On Saturday, a trough will graze the northernmost 

portion of the region, with rain chances mainly to the north. 

The main effect will be slightly cooler temperatures and some

increasing cloud cover. Otherwise, continued light winds are

expected to remain easterly for the late night to morning hours,

with slight increase from the west each afternoon.
