.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1)

Patchy fog is possible once again Friday night into Saturday morning,
especially in the river valleys where more abundant moisture exists.

A deep column of dry air has settled into the region as a broad
region of high pressure sags down from the northern Great Lakes. Deep
northeasterly flow and mass subsidence results in dry weather, a few
passing clouds, and seasonably cooler temperatures as we head into
the weekend, persisting into early next week.

The extended pattern looks to become more unsettled, especially mid-
next week and beyond. Ensemble guidance suggests a troughing pattern
moving across Canada, pulling southerly flow back into CONUS. This
feature will help pull moisture from Hurricane Polo up into the
central Great Plains region and translate it east toward the Ohio
Valley late week. Much remains to be determined as to exactly how
things will play out, but the bottom line is that the signal for rain
returns as we head into October.

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
With the exception of river valley fog affecting KLUK with IFR or
lower vsbys under clear skies, conditions across the region and
terminals will be VFR through the period.

Some high cloud cover will persist overnight and clear tomorrow
morning in the south, later in the afternoon in the north. A few fair
wx cu is possible, but the difference regarding aviation between any
of these cloud decks is nil. NE wind will turn NNE and then N by the
end of the valid forecast. Light overnight wind under about 6kt will
increase slightly during the day tomorrow as they turn to a more nly
direction.
