- Frost/Freeze Next Couple Nights
Canadian surface high builds in tonight with clear skies and light
winds leading to frost/freeze conditions for all of the forecast
area. This should be the coldest night of the week since the sfc
high is moving east Monday night and clouds may be moving in late
in the night but temperatures could still fall below freezing in
the cold spots where winds stay decoupled.
- Rain Chances Tuesday and Late Week
A clipper low moving in the fast northwest flow arrives on Tuesday
with the first widespread rain this month. QPF expected to be
around a quarter inch with some isolated half inch amounts
possible with scattered convection Tuesday evening.
Flow goes more zonal late week and deeper moisture streams up from
the Gulf ahead of a shortwave trough that arrives Friday or
Saturday with showers and scattered convection.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 143 PM EDT Sun May 10 2026
VFR conditions are highly likely at all terminals through 00Z this
evening (95 percent chance) and through 06Z tonight (90 percent
chance). Wind gusts mostly from the west and northwest are expected
to diminish around 00Z this evening with winds eventually becoming
light to calm. A cold surface airmass early Monday morning could
result in the colder air draining to lower elevations, resulting
in light winds having a direction more associated with local
topography than with synoptic forcing.
