AS OF 313 AM EDT MONDAY...
1. MOSTLY DRY AND SEASONABLY COOL WEATHER THROUGH MID-WEEK.

DISCUSSION
AS OF 313 AM EDT MONDAY...
KEY MESSAGE 1: SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION
TODAY, BRINGING DRIER WEATHER WITH IT. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY OUT
OF THE NORTHWEST THIS MORNING, THEN TRENDING LIGHTER AS THE HIGH
RIDGES IN. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE RELATIVELY COOL,
TOPPING OUT ON THE 60S AREAWIDE. TONIGHT FROST WILL BE POSSIBLE

SURFACE RIDGE WILL SLIDE EAST OF OUR REGION ON TUESDAY AND FLOW
WILL BECOME SOUTHERLY AND GUSTY AT TIMES. SHORTWAVE ENERGY
MOVING THROUGH PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BRING CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
KEY MESSAGE 2: A FAST PROGRESSIVE FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES ACRS THE
NORTHERN TIER OF THE CONUS FOR DAYS 4 THRU 7, WHICH RESULTS IN
CHANGEABLE WX CONDITIONS EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. THE LATEST GLOBAL
GUIDANCE AND ASSOCIATED ENSEMBLE MEMBERS STILL INDICATE THE
HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF PRECIP (60-75%) IS ON THURS, WITH
ADDITIONAL CHANCE (30-40%) POPS NEXT WEEKEND. GIVEN THE FAST
700-500MB FLOW OF 45 TO 60 KNOTS, PRECIP ON THURS WL BE QUICKLY
MOVING WEST TO EAST ACRS OUR CWA, AS PW VALUES APPROACH 1.5".
GIVEN THE FAST FLOW ALOFT AND LIMITED DEEP LAYER INSTABILITY,
THE PROBABILITY OF ANY FLOODING IS VERY LOW ON THURS. NEXT LARGE
SCALE SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO IMPACT OUR CWA NEXT WEEKEND WITH SFC
LOW PRES MOVING ALONG STRENGTHENING LOW LVL THERMAL GRADIENT.
GIVEN TIME FRAME, A LARGE SPREAD IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF
HIGHEST QPF IS NOTED IN THE LATEST GUIDANCE. AS EVENT BECOMES
BETTER SAMPLED WITH TIME, POPS FOR A PORTION OF NEXT WEEKEND
WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BE INCREASED, BUT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE
ATTM. TEMPS ARE RELATIVELY STEADY FOR DAYS 4 THRU 7, WITH
SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR POSSIBLE ON THURS ASSOCIATED WITH
CLOUDS/PRECIP AND FEEL LATEST WPC GUIDANCE IS PROBABLY 3 TO 5
DEGREES TOO HIGH. OTHERWISE, EXPECT DAILY HIGHS IN THE MID 60S
MTNS TO MID 70S VALLEYS WITH A FEW SPOTS IN THE UPPER 70S
POSSIBLE, WHILE LOWS RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER/MID 50S.
AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
