DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1) An upper level omega blocking pattern will remain in place across the central CONUS through early next week. This will help keep surface high pressure across our area during the forecast period.

A strong mid level short wave will drop down across the northeast US this weekend with some weak short wave energy affecting parts of our area. However, given the dry airmass, the main affect for us will just be a bit of a cool down in temperatures and some wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph on Saturday. Meanwhile, some moisture will try to encroach our area from the southwest later in the period, but this will generally struggle to reach us with the surface high pressure in place.

For the sensible weather, will maintain a dry forecast with fairly seasonable temperatures through mid next week.

AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/

High pressure will remain in place through the TAF period. Some MVFR to locally IFR fog will be possible again tonight, but expect this to mainly affect the river valleys/KLUK. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail.

OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected.
