.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1)

A mid and upper level omega blocking pattern will remain in place
across the central CONUS through early next week. This will help keep
surface high pressure across the region thru the forecast period.
Atypical for extended dry periods that occur in late May and early
June - temperatures will be pleasant. Highs are generally expected
to be in the 70s with lows in the 50s.

A strong mid level short wave will drop down across the northeast US
this weekend. This will allow a backdoor cold front to slip south
thru the region. However, given the dry airmass, the main affect
will just be a slight cool down in temperatures and some wind gusts
of 20 to 30 mph on Saturday.

A dry forecast is expected thru most of next week with fairly
seasonable temperatures. Chances for rain look to increase at the
end of next week into next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Surface high pressure centered over the Great Lakes will settle into
the region today providing light easterly winds and prevailing VFR
conditions. Upper level clouds will persist throughout the day.

Northeasterly winds begin to increase closer to 10 knots into
Saturday morning (10-13Z) as a dry cold front moves through the
region.
