DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION...
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVERHEAD TONIGHT AND WILL SET THE STAGE
FOR WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE SEASON FOR
MOST LOCATIONS. WIDESPREAD 20S AND SOME READINGS DOWN INTO THE
MID TO LOWER TEENS IN THE NORTHERN VALLEYS ARE EXPECTED. WE ARE
ALSO REACHING THE TAIL END OF RADIATION FOG SEASON, BUT A COUPLE
HOURS OF PATCHY FOG AROUND SUNRISE REMAINS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY
SOUTH OF THE MTNS.
THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES THU INTO FRI. SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL
ALLOW TEMPS TO WARM BACK INTO THE 60S AND SOME 70S. THE FRONT
ITSELF LOOKS TO BE LARGELY DRY AGAIN, WITH SOME SHOWERS MOST
LIKELY FOR THE MTNS AND POINTS NORTH. COLDER AIR WILL ARRIVE
FIRST NORTH OF THE MTNS, SO FRI MAY BE CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR
THOSE LOCATIONS BUT STILL QUITE WARM ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
FORECAST AREA.
FOR THE HALLOWEEN WEEKEND HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS WITH FAIRLY
TYPICAL LATE OCTOBER TEMPS. THEN WE LOOK TOWARD THE START OF
NOVEMBER WHERE THE PATTERN LOOKS TO BECOME MORE ACTIVE AGAIN,
WHICH IS NOT SAYING MUCH AFTER THESE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
THROUGH 00 THURSDAY: WITH CLEAR/CALM CONDITIONS TONIGHT THERE
MAY BE SOME PATCHY VALLEY FOG AT LEB, CON, AND MHT CLOSE TO
SUNRISE. OTHERWISE, VFR PREVAILS THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: THERE MAY BE BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR OR LOWER IN
VALLEY FOG AT LEB, CON, AND MHT PRIOR TO SUNRISE.
THURSDAY: VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
FRIDAY: ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION AND SOME MVFR CIGS
MAY BE POSSIBLE NORTH OF THE MTNS, INCLUDING HIE.
SATURDAY-SUNDAY: VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
MARINE
WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS THRU WED
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. AS THE HIGH SHIFTS OFFSHORE, SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL INCREASE THU INTO FRI. SOME GUSTS MAY APPROACH 25 KT
ALONG WITH SEAS APPROACHING 5 FT IN THE VICINITY OF SKATE BANK.
OVERALL I EXPECT CONDITIONS TO REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS.
