.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

No tricks, just treats are found in this forecast for the
coming days. High pressure building in from the west will settle
in overhead today into tonight before gradually shifting off to
our east early next week, resulting in another extended stretch
of dry weather. Clouds around early this morning are expected
to scatter out for some sunshine. Northwesterly flow in place
will lead to seasonably cool conditions this afternoon with
highs in the 50s along with less wind in comparison to
yesterday. As trick-or-treating time starts to roll around early
this evening, temperatures will likely range from the upper 40s
to the mid 50s around 5PM and fall into the 40s areawide by
7-8PM. With light winds and high pressure overhead it will be
chillier overnight with lows in the mid 20s to the mid 30s.

As the high starts to shift slowly east Sunday, the flow will
gradually turn more westerly aloft and temperatures moderate a
bit with highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s. A warming trend
continues Monday through Wednesday with upper-level ridging
building in aloft and the flow becoming more south-
southwesterly. Afternoon highs early next week will be running
well above average in the 60s with some valley locations even
making a run at 70 degrees Tuesday and Wednesday. The next
opportunity for more meaningful rainfall looks to be later
Wednesday night into Thursday as a frontal boundary approaches.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR conditions are expected at all terminals through 6Z tonight.
ELM is the terminal that may see some restrictions tonight as
valley fog develops. There is uncertainty in the coverage of fog
as dry air moving in today may mix out the low level moisture.
Conditions tonight are favorable for fog.

Outlook...

Saturday night through Tuesday...Mainly VFR, potential for fog
at ELM in the mornings Sunday into early next week.

Wednesday...Potential for an area of low pressure to pass by
with chances of rain showers and lower cigs.
