.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Gradual clearing today with dry conditions expected to
persist through at least Thursday. Increasing thunderstorm
chances again by the weekend and into early next week, along
with hot and humid conditions.

A cold front is currently working its way across the forecast
area this afternoon. A few thunderstorms and heavier downpours
will continue along this front for a few more hours, eventually
moving east and out of the area by early evening. Behind the
front, skies will gradually clear and a drier airmass featuring
less humid conditions will follow. This drier airmass will
remain in place through at least Thursday. Lows on Wednesday
morning will feel a little chilly...mountains fall into the
upper 40s/low 50s and mid 50s east of the mountains.

Upper ridging will build by late week and into early next week
as the pattern begins to flip towards above normal temperatures.
Along with this warming pattern comes a chance of daily
afternoon/evening storms beginning as early as Friday. Heat will
build each day, with the potential for upper 80s to upper 90s
by Mon/Tue. The ridge will likely continue to intensify through
much of next week, so expect hot and humid conditions to
persist.

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Wind gusts up to 25 kts will continue until sunset but will
gradually subside overnight as drier and stabler air moves through.
The weather for the next twenty-four hours is expected to be quiet
in comparison to the previous day. The only issue will be the
presence of fog, mostly for KLWB, KBCB, and KBLF during the
overnight to early Wednesday morning hours. The clear skies and
quiet winds will promote radiative cooling and permit the
development of fog for much of the area west of the Blue Ridge.
Thanks to the recent rain in south-central Virginia earlier this
afternoon, fog may reach KDAN overnight as well but confidence with
this site is low compared to the other terminals mentioned. Fog will
evaporate by sunrise tomorrow and the winds will be light and vary
in direction as higher pressure and drier air moves in.


EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...

The higher pressure will keep conditions benign until Friday when
another frontal system may pass through the Mid-Atlantic. The slow
progression of the approaching front may result in multiple days of
precipitation and thunderstorm so sub-VFR conditions may persist
into the weekend and into next week. Winds could also pick up along
and west of the Blue Ridge once the front moves through.&&
