KEY MESSAGE 1... Frost is not expected tonight. High pressure will
provide dry weather with seasonable temperatures through much of the
week.

Strong high pressure will be over New England today and tonight. It
will extend extend to the south and west to the beyond the
Mississippi River keeping it dry. The pressure gradient between the
high pressure to our north and the coastal low well offshore of
Hatteras will keep breezy to rather windy conditions going today. It
will be sunny and cool with highs only 60-65. Winds will remain
around 5-12 mph tonight. This will keep the nearly surface layer
mixed and a bit warmer than it would otherwise be under clear skies.
Lows of 38-44 expected. With these readings, frost is not expected.

Monday through most of the week is forecast to be dominated by high
pressure that will be extensive over most of the eastern United
States. Low pressure will remain offshore the mid-Atlantic states
through Wednesday or Thursday keeping a dry northerly flow for our
region. Highs will range mostly in the mid 60s to lower 70s this
week. Lows should be mostly in the 40s.

remaining well offshore into mid-week. This will mean VFR conditions
