From the National Weather Service office in RNK, issued 2 hrs ago

What Has Changed

Dewpoints lowered from NBM this afternoon into Thursday.

Key Messages

Discussion

KEY MESSAGE 1:Dry with seasonable temperatures through early next week.

The region is expected to remain under the influence of surface high pressure through early next week. With high pressure and mostly clear skies over the region through the next week, temperatures look to moderate to more seasonable values in the 60s and 70s for highs each day, and 30s/40s for lows at night.

At this time, no precipitation is expected through at least early next week, and is not looking likely for the remainder of the month.

Aviation

VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...

VFR conditions likely to continue into early next week. Any fog should be limited to over bodies of water, and not foreseeing any issues at the TAF sites.
