UPPER RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE AREA TUESDAY AND THEN BEGINS TO FLATTEN TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY TRANSLATES FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THIS WILL ALLOW A COLD FRONT TO OUR WEST TO APPROACH AND STALL JUST NORTH OF OUR CWA WEDNESDAY. AS THE SURFACE HIGH SLIDES FURTHER EAST...WINDS VEER AROUND TO BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY BY WEDNESDAY. MORE MOISTURE...WARMER TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH THE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT WILL BRING INCREASING RAIN CHANCES...ESPECIALLY BEYOND THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. WILL KEEP POPS TAPERED FROM MID RANGE CHANCE NORTHWEST ZONES TO SILENT 10 PERCENT SOUTHEAST BIG BEND. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR OR JUST ABOVE AVERAGE.
