As Good As It Gets

Due to a lack of action we're only a few days out from needing to crowd source fresh ideas in the forecast text. Fortunately the monotony means excellent weather, and in this case it extends as far as the eye can see. A stray shower cannot be ruled out Wednesday through Friday afternoons. Otherwise, the story remains warm and dry with comfortably cool nights.

The 2018 Blue Ridge Parkway Calendar is packed with great photography from the RaysWeather.Com Photo Contest. It has climate information for the entire Parkway and includes pages for November/December 2017 so it can be used soon. Get yours at RaysMarketplace.Com or at many retails across the region.

Forecast Discussion

High pressure is the name of the game and it doesn't let up anytime soon. A very modest amount of low level moisture could spark an afternoon shower Wednesday through Friday, but that's about it. Most everyone stays dry those days.

Sealing the deal is an amplification of the upper level pattern from a deep West Coast trough to an East Coast ridge this weekend. Frontal passages remain null and void for about 9 more days. Until then, incredible Fall weather remains.

Hurricane Jose is approximately 250 miles northeast of Cape Hatteras. It continues a northward journey and impacts parts of New England tonight and Wednesday. Major Hurricane Maria is headed for Puerto Rico tomorrow and brushes Hispanola Thursday. From there it heads towards the southeastern Bahamas and then off the Southeastern U.S. coast. With any luck, Maria will track out to sea without a direct strike on the mainland U.S.
