.KEY MESSAGES...

- Dry and Warm Weather Continues This Week

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 312 AM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024

Upper level ridging will continue to dominate the wx pattern
bringing a continuation of dry and warm wx through the upcoming
week with high temps in the 80s daily.

An overall medium range guidance consensus suggests that any
showers tied to the remnants of whatever becomes of potential
tropical cyclone eight will stay southeast of our area as ridging
continues to dominate the pattern here. However some cloud cover
from this system could move in by Wednesday and Thursday and
potentially keep high temps a few degrees cooler than what will
be experienced today and tomorrow.

The above to much above normal temps will persist right through
next weekend with dry wx to continue.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 227 PM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024

High pressure will continue to dominate the weather through the
period. There will be a brief period early tomorrow morning with a
narrow window of MVFR vsbys, between 09Z and 13Z. As the region
continues to get drier by the day this area shrinks. JXN, AZO, BTL
and LAN are possible with JXN having the best chance of seeing
MVFR vsbys. Any reductions will be short lived with light winds
continuing tomorrow.

.MARINE...
Issued at 312 AM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024

upcoming week with wave heights of only around a foot or less and
offshore winds.
