Issued at 631 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024 Updated the aviation section for the 00Z TAF issuance. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 237 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024 Surface high pressure and quiet weather conditions will continue to the rule across the area through the upcoming week! A dry cold front will pass through the area Sunday afternoon/Sunday night allowing for much cooler conditions and even less humidity. Aloft, a troughing pattern will linger over/near the area keeping northwest flow aloft. These features will keep much cooler weather in place for much of the week. The aforementioned trough will shift gradually eastward through mid week as ridging builds across the CONUS for the mid to end of the week. That will lead to only a gradual warming of temperatures late in the week. After one more day in the 80s on Sunday, expect highs to cool to the low to mid 70s for most of the week. Lows will drop in the 40s to around 50 degrees!!! && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/... Issued at 631 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024 Once again, patchy fog is possible at sites near the Mississippi River tonight. Tomorrow, however, winds finally increase to around 8 kts out of the WSW before a dry cold front shifts winds to the northwest for the afternoon. Some mid-level clouds are possible during the afternoon. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. && $$ UPDATE...ATL DISCUSSION...KC AVIATION...ATL
