.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry weather prevails for the rest of this week
with moderating temperatures. Next rain chance late in the
weekend into early next week.

High pressure will continue to dominate the weather throughout
this week featuring clear skies, cool overnights and warm
daytime highs.

Temperatures should moderate somewhat as the center of high
pressure reaches the East Coast mid-week. The flow will turn
towards the southwest during Wednesday and Thursday to boost
temperatures into the 70s and 80s. A dry frontal passage to the
north late Thursday could bring slightly cooler air by Friday,
but another area of high pressure should keep conditions dry
through Saturday. The lack of rainfall this week will only
worsen the ongoing drought across the Piedmont.

Next rainfall chance comes late in the weekend and into early
next week with a potential for a tropical system forming in
Gulf, then moving north across the southeast United States.
However, this system has still not developed in the Gulf, so
this portion of the forecast remains very low confidence.

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR conditions are expected at all terminals through the period.
Exception will be patchy fog at BLF/LWB/BCB, but higher
confidence at LWB compared to BLF/BCB.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...
High pressure will keep VFR conditions throughout the rest of
this week. The lone exception will be any patchy river valley
fog in the mountains during the early morning hours. Winds
should turn towards the southwest by Wednesday and swing back
around to the northwest late Thursday due to a frontal passage
to the north. Clouds could increase from the south on Saturday,
but any impacts to aviation may not take place until later in
the weekend.
