Discussion

KEY MESSAGE 1: Rain-free conditions will persist through the end of October and possibly the first day of November

Noon Update... The cold front has made it to the USA/Canadian border, as this front has limited moisture and will eventually lead to some cloud cover this evening into the night. For the meantime clear skies continue to dominate the region. Once the front passes through, clear skies and high pressure returns. Large diurnal variations will continue with highs in the 60s and lows in the 30s.

Previous discussion... An area of high pressure will settle south across the Carolinas and southern Appalachians today, allowing a weak/dry cold front to drift southeast across the District this afternoon and evening. Outside of a few sprinkles across the Northern Mountains later today or early tonight, no measurable rainfall is expected this entire week.

In the wake of the frontal passage, another, larger area of high pressure will build Southeast across the Upper Great Lakes and extend our lengthy string of rainfree conditions through part or all of this upcoming weekend.

Locally dense large stream/river valley fog will occur across central PA and the Susq valley early today, while light wind and/or some mid and high clouds has limited much in the way of fog development (so far) across the Northern Mtns and Laurel Highlands where temp/dewpt spreads are between 1-6 deg F. Will keep the mention of patchy fog for areas outside of the Susq Mainstem and its West Branch Valley.

Moderate variations will occur in daily and nocturnal temperatures as at least one weak, dry cold fronts moves SE across the Commonwealth during the upcoming 5-6 days. Wind direction/speed and cloud cover will also show some minor day- day variations.

Aviation

A very strong inversion will result in fog and lower clouds in some of the valleys across east-central PA this morning, with vsby restrictions possible at any of the airfields, but highest chances at IPT, MDT, and LNS. Otherwise, the only clouds expected today are mid-high clouds from a weak trough aloft. Winds will mostly be from the west today at 5-10 kts, and shift more towards the north tonight as a dry cold front moves in. IFR or MVFR cigs are possible across the northern tier and Laurels (30-40 pct chc at BFD and JST) between 00z and 12z Tue.

Outlook...

Tue...MVFR cigs possible in the north and west early, trending VFR.

Wed-Thu...VFR likely.

Fri...MVFR cigs possible mainly in the north and west due to a cold front.
