DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
BIG BUBBLE AND ABSOLUTELY NO TROUBLE. A PROLONGED PERIOD OF DRY
CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED WITH HIGH PRESSURE REMAINING OVER THE
REGION FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK. DAYS WILL SEE HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S. EXPECT LARGE DIURNAL TEMPERATURE
SWINGS, WITH MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS AT NIGHT AND LIGHT WINDS
MAKING WAY FOR EFFICIENT RADIATIONAL COOLING. LOWS WILL
GENERALLY BE IN THE 30S, BUT A FEW NIGHTS COULD SEE LOWS DIP
INTO THE 20S.
FIRE WEATHER WILL BE THE ONE THING WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE
ON OVER THE NEXT WEEK. RELATIVE HUMIDITY COULD DIP TO OR BELOW
30% DURING THE PEAK HEATING HOURS OF THE AFTERNOON, BUT AT THIS
TIME, WINDS APPEAR THAT THEY WILL FAIRLY LIGHT THROUGH THE
PERIOD. DRY, DEAD LEAF LITTER IS ALWAYS A CONCERN FOR WILDFIRE
STARTS THIS TIME OF YEAR, SO A PROLONGED DRY PERIOD COULD MAKE
THIS FALL SEASON MORE FAVORABLE FOR WILDFIRE ACTIVITY.
AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
VFR THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD WITH LIGHT WINDS. HIGH CONFIDENCE.
OUTLOOK...
MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH A LARGE AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE ANCHORING OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE LOWER 48.
MORNING FOG CAN'T BE RULED OUT, BUT THE DRY AIRMASS OVER THE
REGION SHOULD LIMIT POTENTIAL.
BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES

NY...NONE.
