Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
1231 PM EDT Sat Sep 23 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will maintain warm and dry weather into the
middle of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Broad high pressure will keep the forecast dry and warm. Clear
skies will carry into the overnight hours tonight. This will
allow for a large diurnal temperature spread, but lows are
still expected to remain higher than seasonal averages.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The ridge over much of the eastern CONUS will only build further
Sunday and Monday. Mostly clear skies and unseasonably warm
temperatures will remain a daily occurrence. Highs will
regularly push near the 90 degree mark across the lower terrain.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Guidance still showing a pattern change eventually coming
towards the latter half of the week. This should effectively end
the recent warm streak we`ve been on, beginning Thursday. The
dry cold front that ushers this change, however, looks to bring
little in the way of precipitation. Dry conditions will likely
carry through the 7 day period, and possibly beyond.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
High pressure will maintain light wind and VFR.


.Outlook...
General restrictions are not expected until the approach of a
cold front during the middle of next week.

&&

.PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MD...None.
OH...None.
PA...None.
WV...None.
