KEY MESSAGE 1... The persistent pattern of dry and seasonable weather will continue over the next 7 days.

The mid and upper level weather pattern through the weekend will be dominated by a high amplitude upper level ridge extending from the western Gulf north into the western Great Lakes with a general northerly flow across the Carolinas. Disturbances in the flow including a series of moisture-starved shortwave troughs will move across the Carolinas tonight and early Sunday. Deep layer moisture will be lacking as precipitable water values will remain low through the period ranging between 30-60% of normal.

A reinforcing surface high pressure system will progress east from the Great Lakes into the the Canadian Maritimes over the next few days. This high will extend into our region behind a dry cold front that will move across the Carolinas this morning. A slightly cooler airmass will arrive today and a northeasterly flow will spread shallow moisture and generate some fair weather stratocumulus clouds across the area during the today and Saturday, especially eastern areas. These will be the first notable clouds in central NC since Monday. Temperatures will generally range near and slightly below average through the weekend.

The mid and upper level ridge will begin to weaken early next week with another short wave trough moving across the region during the middle of the week. The airmass will moderate on Monday and Tuesday with temperatures warming up a few degrees before a slightly cooler airmass arrives for Wednesday an Thursday. Dry weather should continue for through Thursday although there are signals that a more southwesterly flow will result in an increase in deep layer moisture and perhaps the need to consider limited rain chances next weekend.

Aviation

As of 640 PM Friday...

TAF period: High confidence in VFR conditions over the next 24 hours. While there should be some stratocumulus around 5kft, especially at RWI, the chances of any MVFR ceilings are minimal. The wind will continue out of the northeast, with the most likely site to have any gusts over 15 kt being FAY on Saturday afternoon.

Outlook: Occasional low-VFR stratocumulus will remain possible Saturday night and Sunday, otherwise dry VFR conditions are forecast.
