.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Quiet weather through the upcoming week. Isolated shower
chances along and north of the I-64 corridor through early
Monday.


The Nor`easter off the Mid-Atlantic coast looks to push slightly
southwest through tonight. As this happens, some wrap around
moisture and cloud cover may move into the area, especially for
areas along and north of I-64. Overall, the impacts from this
system will remain minimal for the region. Gusty northwest winds
will continue to remain in the 15-25 mph range through this
afternoon, with diminishing winds tonight into Monday morning.


By Tuesday, the Nor`easter and its associated upper level trough
finally lift north and east of the region, which will allow for
500mb heights and upper level ridging to build back into the
region. This will return daytime highs back into the upper 70s
to low 80s for mountain locations, and upper 80s to low 90s for
Piedmont locations starting Wednesday and continuing through the
end of the work week. While temperatures will surge to above
normal values again, dewpoints look to remain in the 40s/50s
which will make the airmass feel much more tolerable.

A possible frontal passage late on Friday looks to moderate
temperatures back to near normal to start the weekend, and
return shower chances to the area.

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR continues across all terminals this evening, though cloud
cover is increasing for LWB/LYH, as a band of clouds and even a
few light showers from the edge of the Nor`Easter swing south
into the area. Any stray showers would be brief and limited to
LWB/LYH, due to drier air in place over our area, especially
for terminals south of I-64.

Wind gusts have begun to back off post-sunset, and will remain
relatively light overnight, allowing for some patchy fog to
form around BLF/LWB. BLF will fall to MVFR VSBY around 09z,
along with LWB falling to IFR through sunrise due to VSBY, with
MVFR cigs also expected.

After 14z, VFR returns to BLF/LWB, and continues for all other
terminals, despite heavy cloud cover throughout the day on
Monday. Clouds slowly try to break up late in the day, but will
persist through the end of the TAF period.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...

Monday night will see less cloud cover, which will increase the
chance of patchy fog, and sub-VFR due to VSBY. Tuesday through
Thursday night is expected to remain dry with VFR flight
conditions. The exception will be during each overnight, where
patchy river/mountain valley fog will remain possible,
especially for LWB. Rain chances return late Friday, which will
increase the likelihood of sub-VFR cigs/vsbys, especially west
of the Blue Ridge.
