DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1: DRY WEATHER CONTINUES THIS WEEK WITH GRADUALLY
WARMING TEMPERATURES.
NO CHANGE IN THE FORECAST THINKING WITH THE EXTENDED DRY PERIOD
CONTINUING, AND LIKELY PERSISTING THROUGH THE END OF OCTOBER.
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING WITH BREEZY
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WHICH HAVE STARTED GUSTING INTO THE 20 TO 25
MPH RANGE. UPPER RIDGE WILL SLOWLY TRANSLATE EAST THROUGH THE
WEEK AND FLATTEN OUT BY THURSDAY WHILE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS ANCHORED OVER THE NORTHEAST AND RIDGES SOUTH ACROSS THE
EASTERN SEABOARD. THIS WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY WARMER
TEMPERATURES EACH DAY WITH FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE GIVEN VERY
SMALL NBM IQRS. VALUES MAY REACH SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL VALUES BY
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. EXPECT SOME COOLER OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES,
THOUGH VALUES LOOK TO MODERATE INTO THE LOW/MID 50S BY THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY. THE PATTERN STARTS TO SHOW SOME SIGNS OF BREAKING
DOWN BY LATE WEEK, BUT RATHER QUIETLY AS OPPOSED TO A STRONG
FRONTAL PASSAGE.
AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL PATTERN AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES
TO BRING DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS. PASSING VFR CLOUDS FROM
ONSHORE FLOW ARE STARTING TO CLEAR. NO FOG REMAINS EXPECTED AS
WINDS SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT OVERNIGHT UNDER A DRY AIR MASS. FOR
MONDAY, CLEAR AND DRY CONDITIONS REMAIN AS WINDS PICK BACK UP TO
7-10 KNOTS BY MIDDAY WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS UP TO 15 KNOTS.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BREEZY NORTHEAST WINDS EXPECTED TO
PERSIST INTO NEXT WEEK; ALTHOUGH GUSTS MAY SUBSIDE A BIT IN THE
10 TO 15 KNOTS RANGE.
