FROM TODAY UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEKEND, WILL BE A WELCOMED
CHANGE TO THE WEATHER PATTERN, ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF RAIN LATELY. RIDGING ALOFT WILL SHIFT OVER
FROM THE WEST, WHILE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE NEAR THE GREAT LAKES
DRIFTS TO THE MID-ATLANTIC, WITH TIME. THE BLOCKING HIGH WILL KEEP
THE FORECAST AREA DRY FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH TOMORROW, WITH A RETURN TO
NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES FRIDAY ONWARD. HUMIDITY ALSO WON'T BE AS
BAD AS WHAT IT HAS BEEN AT THE START OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. A
SLOW RETURN TO 60S AND SOME 70S DEW POINTS CAN BE EXPECTED THIS
WEEKEND WHEN RETURN FLOW TRIES TO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF INCREASING
CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION SUNDAY UNTIL THE END OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 111 AM EDT WED JUN 3 2026
ONLY FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE 06Z TAF PACKAGE IS WHETHER FOG WILL
AFFECT ANY TERMINALS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. OTHERWISE, LIGHT
WINDS AND VFR CATEGORIES WITH FEW-SCT250 AT BEST FOR CLOUD COVER
ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD AT ALL SITES. GOING BACK TO THE
FOG POTENTIAL, KTRI SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY SITE IT MIGHT AFFECT.
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SOME PRESENT IN THE RIVER VALLEYS OF FAR
SOUTHWEST VA AND NORTHEAST TN. PATTERN WISE, I THINK THERE'S
POTENTIAL FOR IT TO AFFECT KTRI SO I'VE ADDED SOME TEMPO 1/2SM
THERE.
