.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure building in from the north will bring cooler and drier
weather to the area for the first half of the week. Mainly dry
conditions will continue for the remainder of the week, with
temperatures gradually warming as the week goes on.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Message(s):
- Breezy this afternoon
- Cool below normal temperatures tonight
Satellite imagery shows lower clouds continuing to diminish across
the forecast area as drier air aloft moves into the area.
Temperatures are expectedly cooler today with highs expected in the
upper 70s to lower 80s.
Drier air continues to filter into the region tonight with
northeasterly flow under mostly clear skies across much of the
region, though some thicker cloud cover may be over the eastern
Midlands. A cool dry air mass will support overnight lows dropping
into the mid to upper 50s in the northern and western Midlands with
lower 60s elsewhere.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Key message(s):
- Cool and dry as high pressure fills into the region.
There is little change in the forecast with a calm middle
section of the week as high pressure remains in place and weak
upper troughing stays west. At the surface, strong high
pressure centered over New England will maintain northeasterly
flow and surface ridging while an inverted trough offshore
reinforces a moisture gradient across the coastal plain. A
strengthening surface ridging pattern pushes a reinforcing shot
of drier air into the region on Wednesday with mostly sunny
skies and slightly warmer, albeit near to slightly below normal,
daytime temperatures.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Key message(s):
- Continued dry with slowly rising temperatures through the
  period.
Surface high pressure maintains a northeasterly flow and dry
weather with rain not expected through the weekend. An upper trough
remains positioned over the east coast through the long term
which will reinforce a moisture gradient, but only for extreme
eastern SC. Temperatures will begin to slightly rise to near
seasonal values Thursday and Friday as the airmass moderates and
northeasterly advection begins to weaken.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
High confidence in VFR conditions through the 24hr forecast period.
High pressure continues to build into the region tonight with
persistent northeasterly flow. Gusty winds through the afternoon
should weaken a bit this afternoon before diminishing to 5 knots or
less overnight. Dry air mass in place removes any cig/vsby concerns.
Winds should pick back up to around 10 to 12 knots after sunrise
with gusts to 20 knots as the inversion breaks.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...A dry air mass will be over
the region this week and no significant aviation restrictions
expected.
