DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1: DRY WEATHER CONTINUES THIS WEEK WITH GRADUALLY
WARMING TEMPERATURES THROUGH SATURDAY.
MAIN ADJUSTMENTS THIS MORNING IS DUE TO SATELLITE AND AREA
WEBCAMS SHOWING SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT ALONG AREA RIVERS AND
LAKES. THIS SHOULD BE MOST NOTICEABLE NEAR SUNRISE, THEN
QUICKLY BE BURNING OFF AS THE SUN RISES AND BETTER MIXING STARTS
TOWARDS 12Z-13Z.
OTHERWISE, MINIMAL CHANGE IN THE OVERALL FORECAST THINKING WITH
THE EXTENDED DRY PERIOD MOST LIKELY CONTINUING THROUGH THE END
OF THE MONTH. 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 THROUGH SATURDAY, SO EXPECT A CONTINUATION OF
WARM DAYS AND COOL NIGHTS THIS WEEK. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH
ABOVE NORMAL VALUES BY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS THE PATTERN STARTS
TO SHOW SOME SIGNS OF SHIFTING, WITH THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN
RETURNING TO THE FORECAST FOR THE FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER.
AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. EXCEPTION MAY BE AT AGS WHERE BRIEF IFR VISIBILITIES MAY
BE ENCOUNTERED THROUGH 13Z DUE TO POTENTIAL RIVER FOG FORMATION
THERE. OUTSIDE OF THAT, MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH
MAINLY JUST SOME THIN CIRRUS PASSING THROUGH THE REGION. BY
MID MORNING, LIGHT WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHEAST ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP, CONTINUING THROUGH SUNSET, THEN LIGHT AND VARIABLE TO
CALM AGAIN OVERNIGHT.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...NO SIGNIFICANT AVIATION CONCERNS
THROUGH THE WEEK. A FEW TO SCATTERED HIGH VFR CLOUDS MAY MOVE
IN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY DUE TO ONSHORE FLOW, BUT OTHERWISE
REMAINING DRY.
