.SYNOPSIS...
Dry high pressure builds in tonight and will remain the
dominant weather feature through the week, resulting in sunny
and dry conditions through next weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 135 AM EDT Monday...
Key Message:
-Dry conditions with chilly overnights and mild afternoons.
Surface high pressure continues to build overhead and conditions
will remain dry and mostly clear through tonight. Morning lows
will be chilly in the 40s, but should quickly warm into the
upper 60s to mid 70s by the afternoon. Breezy northeast winds in
the afternoon, but will become light/calm again overnight.
Perhaps some isolated valley fog this morning, but confidence is
low given the dry airmass in place.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 145 AM EDT Monday...
Key Message:
1) Quiet weather continues.
Not a whole lot to say about the weather for the next few days. A
high surface pressure system over New England will continue to wedge
into the mountains and eventually move east. Relatively high
pressure will still remain over the Mid-Atlantic and provide clear
to partly cloudy skies and keep conditions overall dry and
relatively cool. Early morning temperatures will be in the mid-40s
to mid-50s. Temperatures will subtly increase later this week with
highs eventually reaching into the lower 70s to lower 80s. Dew
points are forecast to be in the mid-40s to mid-50s. The only
change in weather currently expected is early morning patchy fog
near lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. A shortwave
makes its way into the area by the middle of this week, but with
stable and dry conditions, precipitation is very unlikely.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 145 AM EDT Monday...
Key Message:
1) Autumn weather conditions continue.
The dry and relatively cool weather will continue into the weekend
and likely into early next week. Another separate surface high will
pass near New England and wedge into the mountains again, keeping
skies stable and clear for the foreseeable future. Model
guidance suggests an upper level low may traverse into the Mid-
Atlantic early next week, but it is too early to know for
certain on its potential path and impacts. Otherwise, dew points
will remain in the 50s for the region, low morning temperatures
will also be in the 50s, and high temperatures will range from
the mid-70s to the lower 80s.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 645 AM EDT Monday...
Mostly VFR expected through the valid 24 hour TAF period. Some
patchy early morning fog this morning, but should be rather
shallow and quickly dissipate, given the dry airmass in place.
Breezy northeast winds this afternoon, with some gusts possible
around 15kts. Winds will become light/calm again tonight.
.EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...
VFR conditions expected through the coming week, outside any
patchy late night/early morning fog.
