SYNOPSIS
High pressure is building into the region. Predominantly dry conditions, light winds and warmer temperatures are expected to hold into the middle of the upcoming week. A storm system should arrive later Wednesday into Thursday bringing the next chance of showers and thunderstorms to the area.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/
Earlier cu has all but dissipated, leaving mainly clear skies across Central PA. Surprisingly, BFD has already seen it's vsby drop below 1 mile, so fog is already beginning to form in a few favored locations.

A light easterly flow in the llvls persists and could once again bring in Atlantic moisture overnight. Expect stratus to return to the ern half (or more) of the CWA There could also be fog around overnight, but lack of rainfall during the day and the potential for the development of low clouds may work against it. Dewpoints should remain in the 50s, however, and min temps should dip to near the dewpoint.

SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/
As with Sunday AM, any low clouds will have to burn away with the mid-May sun. However, earlier dissipation of the stratus should help temps Monday aftn rise a few to several degrees warmer than Sunday's maxes.

There could be just enough instability across the nrn tier of counties in the aftn to pop a lonesome SHRA/TSRA. Left PoPs in the 20-30pct range for now. The support aloft is tough to find except for perhaps a short wave trough rolling over the upper Great Lakes.

Mon night looks similar to the last few nights, with perhaps less of a reprisal of the nighttime stratus. There could still be some fog, but we've only mentioned patchy fog for the time being. Mins will probably be a bit milder than Mon AM as well.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Tuesday and Wednesday will be very warm days with south to southwesterly flow and plentiful sunshine. Expect highs to reach the 80s both days, and some valley spots could even touch 90 degrees on Wed aftn.

Surface low pressure is progged to track north of the Great Lakes and well north of PA during the mid to late week period.
The associated cold front will cross Pennsylvania Wed night or early Thurs, accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms.

After the front moves through, uncertainty remains as to how far to our south it will settle before stalling. This could keep a chc of showers across at least southern PA through the end of the week.

There is considerable uncertainty heading into next weekend, but it appears that there is a chc that our weather could remain unsettled.

AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
VFR conditions will continue through the rest of the evening as high pressure continues to build eastward. Restrictions are expected overnight, however, as moist flow off of the Atlantic leads to the development of low stratus for sites east of the Allegheny Front. IFR/LIFR ceilings are expected along with MVFR/IFR visibilities. Some fog development is expected for western sites as well where skies will remain mainly clear.

Fog across the west will dissipate quickly in the morning, but the low clouds to the east will be slower to break up. MVFR ceilings could remain in place across the Lower Susquehanna Valley through 18Z. Once the clouds do finally dissipate, VFR conditions are expected area-wide with mainly clear skies and light winds. Some guidance shows the potential for a few showers or possibly a thunderstorm across the northern tier tomorrow afternoon, but confidence is too low to include any mention of rain in the TAF for BFD at this point.

Outlook...

Tue...VFR/no sig wx.

Wed-Thu...Chance of t-storms.

Fri...Mainly VFR, slight chance of showers.

CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
