.DISCUSSION...
As of 104 PM Tuesday...

KEY MESSAGE 1... Seasonable and dry fall weather through much of the
period. Below normal highs expected Friday through Sunday behind
reinforcing cool high pressure.

A very quiet stretch of weather will persist well into at least the
early part of next week. Cool surface high pressure will remain
anchored across the northeast and Mid-Atlantic states through much
of the week and weekend.

A reinforcing cool high pressure system will build down Friday and
persist into early next week. High temperatures will largely hover
near normal in the upper 60s to lower 70s each afternoon. The one
exception will be this late week and weekend, when highs in the low
to mid 60s are favored under that cool high pressure. We may even
have some patchy frost Saturday and Sunday mornings as lows range
from the upper 30s to middle 40s, with middle 30s in the typical
cooler spots.

Due to the pattern, there is virtually no threat of rain. Ensemble
data suggest perhaps a chance by the middle of next week, but that
chance at this point is fairly low.

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 755 PM Tuesday...

Canadian high pressure will extend across the ern US and maintain
VFR conditions and nly surface winds in cntl NC through the 00Z TAF
period and beyond for at least the next several days. Those nly
surface winds may become gusty again with daytime heating around 14-
15Z Wed mainly at ern sites, where the MSL pressure gradient will be
strongest between the Canadian high and coastal low pressure off the
srn Middle Atlantic coast.

Outlook: VFR, as indicated above
