Forecast Discussion:
A blocking high has taken control of our weather, and will continue do so for
the entire work week. This high pressure system will provide the kingdom with a
week of warm temperatures and low humidity. Which, because the trees have not
started to "green-up" thirty-forty degree temperature swings from morning lows
to afternoon highs are not out of the question.
