.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Dry with near normal temperatures through the week,
for pleasant fall weather.

High pressure will remain over the region today, and through much of
the next week, with broad 500mb troughing over the eastern US.
Breezy winds today will subside by this evening. With good
radiational cooling conditions again tonight, will likely see
temperatures near to below freezing in the mountains and mid 30s in
the Piedmont. Will likely be some frost again tomorrow morning in
the mountains, so please continue taking any precautions to protect
sensitive vegetation. Since the growing season has ended for zones
west of the Blue Ridge given the widespread freezing temperatures
across those areas, Frost and Freeze headlines will no longer be
issued. The growing season remains open for the Piedmont and Roanoke
Valley at this time.

Winds vary slightly from the northwest to northwest throughout the
week, and surface high pressure will continue to provide dry and
clear weather. Temperatures will gradually moderate towards seasonal
normals after the start of the week, high temperatures in the 60s
and 70s, and lows in the 30s and 40s.
