.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Brisk and cooler today

Front is east of us and getting some uptick in winds in the
mountains. Should see this trend continue through the day with
upslope cloudiness around into the morning and part of the
afternoon, with drier air scattering the skies out some, but
potential for more upslope clouds tonight with another
shortwave.

Winds into the day Saturday may gust 20 to 30 mph over the
mountains. Over the Piedmont, gusts of 10 to 20 mph will be
common, before subsiding during the late afternoon into the
evening.

KEY MESSAGE 2: Dry and trending milder through the middle of next
week.

Our weather pattern is expected to remain one dominated by generally
northwest flow aloft through the the middle portion of next week.
While a series of low pressure systems are expected to cross the
Great Lakes region into New England, the moisture and energy
associated with them is expected to remain to the north. Our coolest
temperatures are expected on Sunday with values near normal for this
time of year. As we progress into mid-week, geopotential heights are
expected to gradually rises, and so too the surface temperatures. By
Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures are expected to be five to ten
degrees above normal.

KEY MESSAGE 3: Cooler temperatures and a return of precipitation to
conclude the week.

While specific timing of features still is in question, the general
trend among most model guidance is for a longwave trough to dig into
the Mississippi Valley on Thursday and progress east towards or into
our region by Friday. The result will be a trend towards lower
temperatures and better chance of precipitation for the area.
