.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Frost Advisories continue into the morning.

Strong high pressure that has been across the area this past
weekend will sink southward today. A weak cold front approaches
from the north. Overall, after a frosty start to the day, milder
temperatures are expected tonight and Tuesday. We expect that this
will be the last round of Frost Advisories for the remaining (active
growing season) counties for the next few days.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Dry weather continues and above normal temperatures
are expected for much of the week into the start of the weekend.

As what has been the case for the past week or so, dry weather
is expected to prevail over the next 5-7 days. However this time,
above-normal temperatures for late October/early November are expected
to be accompanied by this dry stretch.

Surface high pressure will largely be in control through much of
the week, however there will be one dry cold front that is progged
to cross through the area tonight into Tuesday. From Tuesday and
beyond, expansive high pressure is expected to dominate as upper
level ridging develops over the majority of the Central-Eastern
CONUS with positive 500 mb anomalies.

All in all, generally expect highs in the 65 to 70 degree range
today through Wednesday with highs stepping up into the low to
mid 70s Thursday through Saturday and possibly Sunday.
