New AVIATION
KEY MESSAGES
- Near-normal temperatures for the next several days.
- The next cold front will be late this week into next weekend, bringing some cooler conditions.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 630 AM EST Sun Nov 8 2026 VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 252 AM EST Sun Nov 8 2026
As advertised, the cooler air has filtered in following the front that pushed through the area yesterday. Pleasant, slightly cooler and dry conditions can be expected over the next couple of days.
However, a pattern shift is expected Wednesday as moisture begins to increase ahead of a cold front. The front is expected to move through late Thursday into Friday. A line of showers will accompany the front as it moves through. Models remain consistent that a more significant cool down can be expected after the boundary moves through. Current forecast for next weekend shows widespread lows in the 40s with highs topping out in the upper 60s and low 70s. Overall, a quiet weather pattern expected through the beginning of the week, before a cold front moves through Thursday into Friday.
