As of 245 PM Monday...

KEY MESSAGE 1... Seasonable and dry fall weather will persist across
central NC into the first part of the weekend.

The combined circulation of surface high pressure over eastern
Canada and an area of low pressure that will linger off the mid-
Atlantic coast through mid-week will result in a dry northerly flow
for much of the week. Another area of high pressure will build into
eastern Canada and New England toward the weekend reinforcing the
dry northerly flow across central NC.

This weather pattern will support a precipitation free forecast into
the first part of the weekend with temperatures ranging close to
average for this time of year. Forecast guidance is in close
agreement with temperatures moderating a bit for Tuesday with highs
in the lower to mid 70s before cooling down a touch for Wednesday
and Thursday with highs near 70. A slightly more notable cool down
with highs in the lower to mid 60s arrives by Saturday with
another risk of patchy frost in some the of the typically colder
locations.

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 1240 PM Monday...

High confidence of VFR conditions through the 24 hour TAF period.

The combined circulation of surface high pressure over eastern
Canada and an area of low pressure that will linger off the mid-
Atlantic coast through mid-week will result in a dry northerly flow
for much of the week. A few fair weather clouds may move across the
Coastal Plain near the KRWI terminal this afternoon but otherwise
skies will be largely clear during the TAF period.

North to northeasterly winds this afternoon at 10 to 15 kts with
gusts of 20 to 25 kts, strongest to the east, will decrease tonight.
Winds tonight will drop off to 5 kts or less across the western
Piedmont and 5 to 10 kts across eastern areas. In locations where
winds decouple there is the potential for some marginal LLWS but
confidence is not great so will omit it from the TAF for now. Winds
will pick back up during the mid to late morning hours on Tuesday
and by the afternoon will be north to northeasterly at 10 to 15 kts
with gusts of 15 to 25 kts.

Outlook: Fair weather with VFR conditions are expected for Tuesday
into the first part of the weekend.
