WHAT HAS CHANGED

No significant changes.

KEY MESSAGES

1) An extended period of dry weather will continue through the bulk of the forecast period, with the next credible rain chances occurring on Friday. Temperatures will generally be near or slightly below climatological normals.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1) Omega blocking pattern will remain in place across the central CONUS/south central Canada through early next week before beginning to break down through mid to late week.

Temperatures will moderate a degree or two Sunday and Monday before a fairly deep trough dropping down across the northeast US brings in a bit of a reinforcing shot of cooler air to our region on Tuesday. This could also lead to a lower end chance for some very light rain across our east, but with the dry airmass still across our area, will maintain a dry forecast attm.

Temperatures will then gradually modify to slightly above normal readings through the end of the week as the blocking pattern begins to break down. Mid level troughing developing over the Great Lakes region will bring a chance of showers toward the end of the week.

AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/

VFR prevails through the taf period. Only exception is at KLUK where the potential for BR exists again overnight. Given the drier air mass, fog is less likely than previous nights, but cannot be completely ruled out.

Northeasterly winds expected to subside this evening, dropping below 10 kts shortly after sunset. Winds veer slightly to the east overnight into Sunday, but expected to generally remain below 10 kts.

OUTLOOK...No significant weather expected.
