.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Updated aviation forecast.

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Dry and seasonable weather continues through the week. The
first day of November could bring some rain.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Dry weather through the week.

High pressure remains more or less over the Mid-Atlantic and
the Southeastern states through the end of the month. The ridge
will flatten out some in response to short wave energy moving
through the faster flow to our north. Mid and upper level
moisture will increase by midweek, but the next chance of rain
will not come until a southern stream disturbance opens up and
lifts towards the Mid-Atlantic around Halloween night
(Saturday). With limited moisture and unorganized forcing, we
may only see some spotty showers begin to develop overnight into
the day after Halloween (Sunday). Other than increasing clouds,
we should have good trick-or-treat weather with mild
temperatures. Locations that miss out on that rain will have
to wait until mid week to get another shot.

We may see some patchy frost tonight into Tuesday morning,
otherwise expect the normal valley fog. Temperatures will be a
few degrees within normal values, with highs in the 60s and 70s
areawide, and lows in the 40s and 50s (save for tonight).

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Fog in the mountain valleys is expected again Tuesday morning. A
wave of cirroform clouds arrives tonight but will thin out
towards morning. It still may be enough to interrupt the fog
process, perhaps keeping a few spots from becoming dense, and in
particular have kept KLWB around 1SM as opposed to their usual
quarter mile.

Aside from the fog, VFR conditions are expected through the 24
hour valid TAF period. Winds remain light and variable
becoming calm overnight into the morning hours.


EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...

VFR conditions will likely continue through the week. Another
layer of high cloud is expected to cross the region Wednesday
with cloud bases AOA 20kft. The next best chance of any
precipitation/sub-VFR conditions may not be until Sunday Nov
1st, but at the moment it looks spotty. Still looking at daily
early morning impacts from river fog through the week with
temporary impacts to vsbys for mainly mountain valley terminals
such as KLWB and KBCB.
