.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Cooler temperatures through midweek, then a
gradual warming trend for the latter half of the week and into
the weekend.

Colder air has settled into the region behind the passage of a
cold front on Sunday. Gusty at times as well, with winds from
the northwest, which are expected to continue through Tuesday.
Winds will eventually subside by Tuesday night and into
Wednesday morning as strong high pressure centers itself just
north of the forecast area. With calm winds and clear skies,
Wednesday morning likely to be the coldest this week with
widespread temperatures in the 20s in the mountains and low 30s
east of the mountains. Frost/freeze likely, so it is advised to
make preparations to protect any early season vegetation.

Dry weather will continue to persist into the weekend as high
pressure continues to dominate the weather. As the high moves
east of the region this weekend will see a gradual warming trend
with increasing southwest flow...Should have temperatures back
to the 70s and low 80s.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR expected for the valid 24 hour TAF period. Winds remains
elevated for the higher elevation terminals, gusting from the
northwest into the 20kt range at times. Will see an uptick in
winds in the lower elevations later this afternoon as a result
of daytime mixing, but should relax again after sunset.


EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...

VFR conditions are expected throughout the week and into the
weekend.

Gusts of 15 to 20 kts will still be possible through Tuesday
across the mountains before weakening during the evening.

&&

.RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
VA...None.
NC...None.
WV...None.
