DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THROUGH THE EARLY PART
OF NEXT WEEK. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING, WITH THE FRONT ONLY
PRODUCING INCREASED CLOUDS. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES FRIDAY FOLLOWED BY A WARMING TREND THIS
WEEKEND. A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE, HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTHWEST AND A STORM OFF THE
ATLANTIC COAST WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN WINDS THIS AFTERNOON
WITH GUSTS TO 20 MPH POSSIBLE AT TIMES. THE OTHER ISSUE TO TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT IS A TYPICAL MODEL HIGH BIAS OF AFTERNOON
DEWPOINTS IN THIS PATTERN, RGEM MODEL NOT AS BIASED HERE, SO
BLENDED THAT IN THROUGH SUNDAY.
YET ANOTHER COLD FRONT ATTEMPTS TO BREAK DOWN THE RIDGE A BIT
EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT ALSO LOOKS MOISTURE STARVED. THE PATTERN OVERALL
THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK REMAINS DRY OR WITH BRIEF PASSING SHOWERS
LATER IN THE WEEK.
AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
VFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF THE
AREA TODAY THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS ELM,
WHERE PATCHY FOG MAY FORM AROUND SUNRISE AS WINDS IN THE LOWER

POSSIBLE AND SHOULD LIFT BY 12-13Z.
