KEY MESSAGE 1...Quiet weather period with warming trend next
week.

Overnight cloud cover across the mountains will hold fast over
southeast West Virginia, but show some variation in coverage
over southwest Virginia and the High Country of North Carolina.
A small burst of light snow showers/flurries is still possible
over portions of southeast West Virginia later tonight, but as
expected earlier, little to no accumulation is expected.

Going into next week a column of high pressure systems will
dominate the eastern half of the United States with a center of
a surface high over the Mid-Atlantic. This will result in mostly
clear skies and calm winds for the majority of next week. The
other real change in the weather pattern will be at the 500mb
level where a Rex Block temporarily forms over the southeastern
CONUS before the high component is squeezed out from a trough
that passes to our north later in the week. The presence of the
high, however, will result in increasing heights and a warming
trend that will provide some abnormally warm temperatures for
this time of year. For perspective, the highs for Sunday will be
in the lower 40s to upper 50s and then in the 60s to lower 70s
by Thursday. With the clear skies and calm winds, temperatures
will cool off considerably each night with some lows in the 20s
and gradually "warming" into the 30s.

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR conditions are expected generally in areas along and east of
a KUKF-KLYH line during the duration of the valid TAF forecast
period. Across the mountains, expect a mix of mainly low end VFR
and MVFR overnight into Sunday morning. A few pockets of IFR are
also expected. Ceiling heights will gradually increase, and
cloud cover decrease slowly through early Sunday afternoon.

Winds will remain gusty across the mountains and foothills overnight
with surface gusts around 20kts expected. Speeds will trend
weaker through Sunday morning. Across the Piedmont region,
limited surface gusts are expected and prevailing winds will
generally less than 7kts.

OUTLOOK...

After Sunday, the center of a column of high pressure systems will
be over the Mid-Atlantic resulting in calm winds and mostly
clear skies. VFR skies will be the dominant characteristic of
the forecast for most of next week.
