.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

High pressure will be present over the region all this week. While a
coastal low will develop and lingers for multiple days, this
high pressure will prevent the system from moving inland enough
to bring precipitation to the region. In fact, the WPC Days 1-7
QPF has no precipitation for our area and for a large chunk of
the eastern US. Temperatures will trend warmer starting today
and become more seasonable. Daytime highs will be in the 50s and
60s while lows will be in the 30s and 40s. A slight cool down
will be possible late in the week as a cold airmass drops in
from the north, though there is uncertainty how far west that
colder air will extend. Skies will be clear to mostly clear
throughout the week. Each night, conditions may become favorable
for valley fog development.

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

VFR throughout the TAF period with light winds. High confidence
all sites but KELM. Still potential for fog/freezing fog
formation toward sunrise at KELM.

Outlook...

Tonight through Thursday...Mainly VFR with a large area of high
pressure anchoring over the eastern half of the lower 48.
Morning fog can`t be ruled out, but the dry airmass over the
region should limit potential.

.BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
