.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

No significant weather impacts are expected over the next week
plus. The pattern will continue to be mainly dry with high
pressure dominating for the bulk of the forecast period. Only
exceptions will be this afternoon and evening and again on
Thursday as dry cold fronts push through the region. These
fronts will bring an increase in wind gusts, however they will
also bring an increase in relative humidity, which alleviates
some of our fire weather concerns. Wind gusts of 15 to 20 mph
will be possible starting this afternoon as the pressure
gradient over the region tightens some. Minimum RH will range
in the upper 40s to low 50s percent in the mid afternoon, before
increasing in the late afternoon and evening as the stronger
wind gusts arrive. Due to the increase in RH, we are not
expecting to issue any fire related special weather statements,
but will continue to monitor fire weather conditions closely.

Some of the guidance does bring a few showers or sprinkles
across the area with the cold frontal passage later today and
later Thursday, but the rainfall potential is very low and
spatial coverage will be limited.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Mainly VFR conditions are expected for most of the next 24 hours
(at least through 12Z Tuesday), with a few exceptions. Clouds
associated with a cold front are expected to bring MVFR ceilings
to KSYR, KRME, and KITH for a period this afternoon into this
evening, mainly after 19Z. Any restrictions will likely
dissipate by 00Z Tuesday.

Outlook...

Tuesday through Friday...Mainly VFR. Morning fog at KELM
possible each morning. Low chance for showers at KSYR and KRME
Thursday night with a cold front moving through.
