  area

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Looking at clear skies overnight, as a large high pressure
system builds southward from southern Canada.
Frost and freeze products look ok, just updated the statement.
Limiting factor will be a very slight wind overnight.
Earlier discussion below.
A seasonably strong +2SD 1030mb high pressure dome will migrate
over the eastern Great Lakes and continue to direct crisp and
chilly Fall air into CPA. Frost/freeze headlines remain
unchanged over the northern and western Alleghenies. Some
consideration was given toward adding counties along I-99 where
the usually colder valleys could wake up to areas of frost early
Thursday morning. Min temps in 30-45F range anywhere from 1-2
to 5-8 degrees below climo; however the 24hr change is a bit
more impressive at 15 to 25 degrees lower (colder) vs. last
night.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Thursday looks to be the coldest day of the week, even with
plenty of sunshine. Thursday night will be a bit colder than
tonight, as there will be next to no wind. Also cooler on
Thursday than today. Freeze watch continues for much of the
area. Anyway, no chance to this part of the package.
Earlier discussion below.
Chilly start followed by abundant sunshine, lighter winds, and
the first cooler-than-average day in some time. Max temps will
be 5-10 degrees below the historical average for early October
making for a crisp, cool Autumn feel with low humidity.
