KEY MESSAGE 1. A continuation of dry and seasonable conditions is expected through next week.

An initially high amplitude mid and upr-level ridge over the MS Valley will dampen while progressing slowly ewd and across the Southeast through next week, where it may remain through next weekend. To the east of the slowly progressive and dampening ridge, a moisture-starved shortwave trough will dig across the Middle Atlantic and offshore through this weekend.

At the surface, a series of reinforcing, Canadian surface highs will progress across the Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic and extend across cntl NC through next week (and probably through next weekend), while modifying/moderating. A prolonged period of dry and seasonable conditions will result, with a gradual moderation of temperatures likely late next week through Halloween weekend.
