Discussion
KEY MESSAGE 1...A deep layer of northerly winds will maintain a dry Canadian airmass through the remainder of the week.
Persistent northerly flow continues over the Carolinas between a ridge over the southern Plains and deepening 999 mb low pressure almost 400 miles east of the Virginia coast. This low is expected to continue drifting north through Thursday before being shunted away to the northeast for the weekend. With high pressure in control of the weather locally, dry weather, clear skies, and generally below normal temperatures are forecast through the end of the week.
Changes to NBM blends mainly centered on widening diurnal temperature ranges over the next couple of days (adding 1-2 degrees to highs and subtracting a bit from lows) and lowering daytime dewpoints by up to 6 degrees F.
New Canadian high pressure will expand south across the Great Lakes late this week. As the high moves south this weekend, our wind directions may veer easterly enough to bring more humidity onshore, but with sufficient ridging continuing aloft to maintain dry weather. Recent models show showers may develop offshore where higher dewpoints will promote small convective instability beneath the subsidence inversion aloft.
Aviation
VFR with clear skies and northerly winds that will increase after sunrise especially along the coast.
Extended Outlook...VFR will continue through the period. Breezy northeasterly winds could gust to 25 knots at times Friday through Sunday.
