Key Messages

Discussion
KEY MESSAGE 1:Dry through Halloween
Been dealing with stratocu that has been trapped under subsidence inversion in the mountains this morning and sunshine angle getting a little lower taking more time to mix out that inversion thereby keeping the clouds in a little longer. Satellite trends showing these clouds clearing out.
Some models are showing another repeat tonight as moisture around 2-5kft gets trapped under another inversion. So leaned toward more clouds in the Piedmont advancing west to the mountains by dawn. This may affect temps limiting any frost potential.
As high pressure builds overhead Sunday night, not seeing any cloud concerns and should be a fairly good radiational cooling night such that frost is likely to form and may need headlines for the Piedmont/east of the Blue Ridge. Remember the growing season for the mountains ended earlier this month thereby no frost/freeze headlines for them.
The rest of the week keeps a dry pattern in place, though some frontal boundaries should steer some clouds our way at times, but for the most part mostly sunny days are expected.
Model ensembles showing next chance for any showers may come around the 1st-3rd of November.
Aviation
Some MVFR cigs from stratocu affecting LWB but should clear out by 20z. Another potential for high end MVFR to lower end VFR cigs possible again tonight especially east of a ROA/BCB line. Overall keeping the tafs VFR. Could see a bit of fog at LWB late tonight as wind still from the east and should advect fog into LWB. For now have tempo 3sm in case some cloud cover drifts in late.
Winds will generally be from the northeast in the Piedmont and southeast in southeast WV.
Forecast confidence is high.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...
VFR conditions will persist into next week. Could see some morning fog, but likely will be confined to rivers and lakes, given the dry airmass overhead.
