1.   A sprawling high pressure system will continue to promote dry and cool weather in much of the East.

2.   Chilly air will continue to circulate into the Northeast around a sprawling low pressure zone over southeastern Canada.

3.   Clockwise winds around this sprawling high pressure zone in central Atlantic not only direct sultry air to the East Coast, but also play a role in steering hurricanes.

4.   Dawn will be quite cool from the southeastern states to New England as sprawling high pressure remains over the East.

5.   Elsewhere in the East, sprawling high pressure will promote another very cold dawn followed by a sunny, chilly afternoon.

6.   Farther west, sprawling high pressure will promote mild and dry conditions with light winds from the Ohio Valley to the Southeast.

7.   Farther west, sprawling high pressure will keep most of the Southwest dry and cool.

8.   However, sprawling high pressure over the Southeastern States will shunt the cool air toward southern Canada.

9.   In the West, sprawling high pressure will promote abundant sunshine with temperatures rising to near or above normal.

10.   In the West, sprawling high pressure will promote dry weather in most of the Rockies and the Southwest.
