EXTENDED BEGINS WITH A FAMILIAR PATTERN...TROUGH IN THE EAST AND RIDGING IN THE WEST WITH A QUASI STATIONARY FRONT ON OUR DOORSTEP. THE EXTENDED REMAINS SOMEWHAT DISTURBED AS A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES MOVE OVER THE QUASI STATIONARY FRONT AT LEAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD...MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO FEED AFTERNOON CONVECTION WITH A FAVORABLE UPPER AIR PATTERN AS THE RIDGE IN THE WEST BUILDS BACK INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS PRODUCING A TROUGH IN THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SEPARATING THE EAST-WEST ATLANTIC RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST OF OUR AREA. HGTS WILL BE ON THE RISE AGAIN ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE NATION DURING THE PERIOD. SO...POPS WILL BE AT NORMAL VALUES FOR EARLY JULY. TEMPS WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO NORMAL OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL...ESPECIALLY THE MAX TEMPS. THIS WILL BE A WELCOMED CHANGE.
