.WHAT HAS CHANGED... The Dense Fog Advisory has been cancelled for the area. Some patchy fog will remain possible through mid-morning, with all fog expected to dissipate thereafter.

.KEY MESSAGES... - A pattern change is expected with seasonably warmer temperatures and multiple shower chances in the long term period.

KEY MESSAGE 1... - A pattern change is expected with seasonably warmer temperatures and multiple shower chances in the long term period.

A high pressure system moves overhead Thursday, and then offshore by Friday morning. This will allow for fair weather conditions during this time period. We also start to trend warmer for the end of the week and into the weekend with Friday and Saturday looking like the warmest days as temperatures are generally 10-15 degrees above average for this time of the year.

A potent upper-trough will shift eastward towards the region beginning on Friday. At the surface, a warm front lifts through the area Friday. Scattered showers will likely develop ahead of the warm front during the day Friday, and continue into the evening hours. A brief lull in precipitation may occur Friday night while our region is in the warm sector, but more widespread showers are anticipated on Saturday as a cold front approaches. Wind fields aloft are expected to be quite strong, so it is not out of the question that these showers could mix down isolated instances of damaging gusts, but very meager instability suggests overall severe potential should be quite limited. Overall, appreciable rainfall amounts are expected for most of the area, but there are no major concerns at this time. After the cold front passes through Saturday evening, we turn windy on Sunday into Monday. These winds will lessen into the beginning of next week as another high pressure system builds in along with temperatures returning to near normal.

Marine
Fog is currently dissipating across area waters, and all Marine Fog Advisories have been cancelled. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for all of the Atlantic coastal waters for today for seas of 4-6 feet and west to northwest wind gusts of 25 kt. These should both diminish this evening with sub-SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions bulk of tonight.

Outlook... Thursday through Friday night...No marine headlines are anticipated with winds below 25 kt and seas below 5 feet.

Saturday through Sunday...SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions are expected with south winds 15-20 kt with gusts around 25 kt, shifting to be out of the west Sunday at 20-25 kt with gusts near 30 kt. Seas 4-6 feet.
