.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
Above average warmth and dry weather will continue through the
weekend, adding to one of the warmest Octobers on record
(through mid-month). The dry spell will end early next week,
followed by a seasonably cooler weather pattern leading up to
Halloween.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Another clear and crisp start to the day although not as cold as
yesterday morning. Expect daybreak temps to be somewhat variable
in the mid 30s to mid 40s depending on urban/rural/valley/hilltop
location or influence of light west wind. Frost is possible in a
few spots but should be much more limited in coverage compared
to yesterday. Temperatures will rebound comfortably into the 65
to 70 degree range by the afternoon with plenty of sunshine.
Another clear and cool night with mins in the mid to low 40s.

Another nice but slightly warmer day still on Thursday. We`re
on a roll for nice this week.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As has been the case for much of the last month, upper level
ridging will keep the region dry and mild through the weekend. A
trof will approach the region on Monday bringing an increase in
cloud cover and an increasing chance for showers.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Clear skies will prevail through the next 24 hours, and likely
beyond that. Winds through the period will generally be light
as well, favoring the southwest under 10 knots.

Generally no restrictions expected through Sunday, except for
some patchy valley fog in the overnights and near sunrise. This
should become more prevalent later in the period, Friday through
Sunday.

Outlook...

Wed-Thu...No sig wx expected.

Fri-Sun...Mainly VFR, with just some patchy AM valley fog.

&&

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
