DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1: DRY WEATHER CONTINUES THIS WEEK WITH GRADUALLY
WARMING TEMPERATURES.
THE EXTENDED DRY PERIOD CONTINUES TODAY, AND LIKELY PERSISTS 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 /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL PATTERN AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES
WITH BREEZY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON. NORTHEAST WINDS AT 10-12
KNOTS WITH GUSTS OCCASIONALLY UP TO 20 KNOTS WILL CONTINUE
BEFORE DIMINISHING SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. ATLANTIC MOISTURE
ONSHORE IS STARTING TO PUSH FEW-SCT VFR CLOUDS ALONG THE COASTAL
PLAIN, THOUGH MOST SHOULD REMAIN CLEAR INTO THE NIGHT. NO FOG
IS 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.
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.
