southeastern Canada and high pressure building into the
Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys today and tonight. High

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
High clouds have been moving into the region and updated cloud cover to increase coverage, especially across the western areas. Otherwise, updated for current conditions. A broad upper trough remains across southeastern Canada while Arctic high pressure continues to build into the Tennessee Valley through today. A weak surface trough moves across the late this morning into this afternoon, however with most of the lift to the north and little moisture no precipitation is expected. With a cold airmass in place temperatures remain up to 10 degrees below seasonal normals for the beginning of meteorological winter today.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... The broad upper trough remains over southeastern Canada and into the eastern United States as shortwaves rotate through the flow tonight into Tuesday. The trough then begins to shift east Tuesday night. Meanwhile Arctic high pressure builds in to the west tonight through Tuesday and remains Tuesday night. Dry weather continues with temperatures remaining up to 10 degrees below normal as a northwest flow persists. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... The long term starts off with the region under a more zonal flow aloft on Wednesday. Another trough and shortwave then drops out Canada moving into the Great Lakes region Wednesday night, eventually moving into the Northeast for Thursday. At the surface, high pressure south of the region weakens a bit, allowing a clipper type low to pass north of the region on Thursday. This low will also send a cold front across the area during the daytime Thursday. Some moisture accompanies this system, and there will be a chance of light precipitation Wednesday night into Thursday. Will keep POPs at chance for now. Temperatures across the interior may be cold enough for snow showers, however with a southerly flow at the surface and aloft ahead of the cold front, temperatures should be warm enough for just some rain showers. A mix of rain/snow showers can not be ruled out closer to the coast. Behind the front, high pressure returns along with a an even colder airmass for the end of next week. Another low pressure system may impact the area late in the weekend into early next week. && .AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

Winds and seas across the western ocean waters have diminished to just under SCA levels, however, winds and gusts will be increasing this morning, so the advisory remains in effect. Gusty west winds and seas near 5 ft remain on the ocean waters into early this evening, and a SCA remains in effect. With high pressure building to the west and south tonight into Monday the gradient weakens and winds become northwest. The high then remains in control into Tuesday night. Winds and seas will remain below advisory levels across the forecast waters tonight through Tuesday night. Sub-SCA conditions expected through much of Wednesday. Winds and waves pick up Wednesday night ahead of a cold frontal passage and potentially reach gale force by Thursday morning. The cold front likely passes through Thursday afternoon and gale force winds could continue through parts of Friday out of the northwest. Ocean seas during this time could peak around 10 feet. Conditions fall to SCA level Friday night and then below SCA by Saturday.
