AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure maintains control over the area through much of
the week, yielding a stretch of dry weather amid a subtle
warming trend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 1200 PM Tuesday...
Overall mainly dry conditions continue in the near term period with
high pressure in control. Afternoons will continue to be
characterized by low RH, but winds look to remain generally light
during the period. River valley fog will be possible overnight/early
Wednesday morning. Otherwise, moisture from a low moving north along
the coast Wednesday may spread enough moisture west to produce some
light rain across far northeast zones, but chances are low, and main
effect may just be a slight uptick in cloud cover.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 1200 PM Tuesday...
High pressure, along with continued cool and dry conditions will
linger Thursday. A gradual warming trend will take hold by Friday as
a ridge across the central U.S. nudges east into the region. High
temperatures by Friday should generally top out in the low to mid
80s across the lowlands.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 1200 PM Tuesday...
The trend for warming temperatures continues over the weekend as
upper ridge to our west strengthens. Dry weather is expected to
continue, along with low RH`s, but winds still look to remain
relatively light, mitigating much in the way of fire weather
concerns.
&&
.AVIATION /16Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 610 AM Tuesday...
Sub-VFR restrictions will lift as valley fog dissipates by 14Z,
then high pressure will support VFR conditions area wide for
the rest of the day. Patchy valley fog may again produce a
period of IFR/LIFR at a few terminals after 06Z tonight.
Confidence in fog is greatest for EKN, though CRW and PKB could
also be impacted late in the TAF period.
East to southeast winds will be light today, then become calm to
light overnight.
