Discussion
KEY MESSAGE 1. Ensemble guidance remains in strong agreement that persistent upper ridging and surface high pressure will dominate the region through most of next week (if not longer). This will guarantee dry, sunny, and warm conditions. Precipitation chances remain below 10% through Thursday morning before cloud cover gradually increases ahead of an approaching trough.
Uncertainty in ridge placement and trough movement grows by late next week with increasing rain chances into the weekend. However, 24-hour probabilities generally never exceed 50% during this timeframe, suggesting rain likely confined to one period (rather than multiple rounds) with models uncertain which of Friday/Saturday/Sunday sees the best chance.
