.DISCUSSION...
As of 300 AM Sunday...

KEY MESSAGE 1...  A continuation of dry and seasonable conditions is
expected through this week, with moderating temperatures to around
10F above average by Halloween.

A sub-tropical ridge will progress slowly ewd and across the
Southeast this week, then drift off the South Atlantic coast by next
weekend. An increasingly-active srn stream will direct a series of
perturbations across the lwr mid-latitudes and sub-tropics mid week
through the weekend.

At the surface, a series of reinforcing, Canadian surface highs will
progress across the Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic and extend
across cntl NC through the week, with the next in the series led swd
by a moisture-starved backdoor front across the srn Middle Atlantic
late Tue-early Wed. The ridge and airmass will then modify/moderate
while extending across the region through Halloween. A prolonged
period of dry and mild conditions will result.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 635 AM Sunday...

High pressure will extend across the region and maintain primarily
VFR conditions in cntl NC through the 12Z TAF period. However, a
fleeting MVFR ceiling will be possible with daytime this morning
around 14-15Z at INT/GSO; and shallow radiation fog will be possible
tonight at RWI due to local effects. Nely flow around the
aforementioned surface high will strengthen and become gusty to near
20 kts at FAY and RWI with daytime heating, then diminish by sunset.

Outlook: A reinforcing, moisture-starved cold front will move across
NC Tue night, with following nely flow that will result in a risk of
MVFR ceilings Wed and Thu morning.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
