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 /04Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS. CALM AND CLEAR
CONDITIONS TONIGHT. LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IS A TAD DRY FOR ANY FOG
TO DEVELOP. SHALLOW, PATCHY AND INTERMITTENT FOG IS POSSIBLE AT
OGB AS THE LAST TWO NIGHTS HAVE SHOWN, BUT CHANCES ARE LOW.
WINDS WILL INCREASE ON SATURDAY AS A STRONG LOW-LEVEL JET
DEVELOPS TONIGHT. THE LLJ SHOULD MIX OUT BETWEEN 14Z AND 18Z
SATURDAY, WITH BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SUGGESTING NORTHEASTERLY GUSTS
UP TO 20 KNOTS POSSIBLE AT TIMES LATE SATURDAY MORNING AND
AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS PERSIST WITH WIND GUSTS
SUBSIDING A BIT AFTER SUNSET.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...A BIT MORE MOISTURE INCREASES THIS
WEEKEND POSSIBLY LEADING TO AREAS OF PATCHY FOG; ESPECIALLY
NEARS BODIES OF WATER THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK.
