DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1: DRY WEATHER CONTINUES INTO NEXT WEEK WITH NEAR
NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPERATURES.
NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN THIS WEEKEND.
EXPECT DRY WEATHER TO CONTINUE THROUGH WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES
AROUND SEASONAL VALUES AND HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S
TODAY AND THE LOWER 70S ON SUNDAY. BREEZY NORTHEASTERLY WINDS
ARE EXPECTED BOTH DAYS MAKING IT FEEL COOLER BUT GUSTS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE HIGH ENOUGH TO REQUIRE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY AT
THIS TIME. UPPER RIDGING MOVES SLOWLY EAST AND MAY BREAK DOWN
DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PORTION OF NEXT WEEK, RESULTING
SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES WITH FORECAST HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO
MID 70S MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AS IS TYPICAL DURING THIS TYPE OF
DRY AUTUMNAL PATTERN, WARM DAYS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY COOL NIGHTS
WITH NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES. RAIN CHANCES
START TO RETURN LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD BUT IT IS POSSIBLE
THE REGION REMAINS DRY THROUGH THE END OF OCTOBER.
AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
REINFORCING HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP NORTHEASTERLY
WINDS ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AND TONIGHT. A TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN SOME GUSTY WINDS AND EXPECT
WINDS AROUND 10 TO 12 KNOTS WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS THROUGH
THE DAY BEFORE GUSTS SUBSIDE THIS EVENING WHILE WINDS REMAIN UP
AROUND 6 TO 9 KNOTS OVERNIGHT. A DRY AIR MASS REMAINS IN PLACE
SO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED WITH SOME POSSIBLE FEW-SCT
VFR CLOUDS AT OGB WITH ATLANTIC MOISTURE COMING ONSHORE.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BREEZY NORTHEAST WINDS EXPECTED TO
PERSIST INTO NEXT WEEK WITH WIND GUSTS OVER 20 KNOTS EACH DAY.
