.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Well above average temperatures, along with dry
weather conditions, continue through the end of next week.

A summer-like Bermuda High will set up in the western Atlantic
early this week and remain in place through the week, providing
much above normal temperatures. Low levels will be dry under
subsidence from the ridge aloft, so clouds will be hard to find,
and precipitation even harder. Ensemble means in strong
agreement with the pattern for the week, giving fairly high
confidence in the weeks forecast, so prepare for unseasonable
heat.

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR conditions are expected to continue through the TAF period.

Clear skies continue over the region at the start of the TAF
period with light and variable winds at all terminals. Expect
these light and variable to calm winds to continue through about
15z before increasing from the south around 7-10 kts. A higher
gust or two is possible in the afternoon. Some higher clouds are
anticipated to move over the area during the day tomorrow as
well. With fog occurring at both AGS and OGB, it cannot be
completely ruled out again tonight. However, confidence remains
low at this time. Did include a FEW003 at AGS to partially
account for the potential there.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Dry conditions are expected to
persist, with low chances for widespread restrictions in
the extended.
