NORTH
The cold, wintry air mass stays locked in over portions of the north region today as temperatures struggle to get into the teens over southern and eastern locales, and stay well below zero far to the north. A weak impulse of energy will bring low clouds and foggy conditions to eastern China as the warmer air from the south rides over the cooler surface layer. Haze and smoke will be an issue across Mongolia as high pressure overhead creates a bit of a stagnation problem. The remainder of the region should see a rather nice, albeit chilly, day ahead.

CENTRAL
Temperatures are rebounding a bit across the central region as the high pressure system responsible for the attest Siberian surges tracks mostly eastward. A few showers will fall over the higher terrain of south-central China and across Taiwan as the strong northeasterly flow rolls the moisture up the mountains, squeezing out a few showers. Skies will be partly cloudy across Okinawa, and over southern China and northern Indochina, while temperatures will settle in at comfortably warm autumn levels over much of the region.

SOUTH
A new surge from the north has infiltrated much of the south region, with high pressure building in behind a strong northeasterly flow over portions of northern Indochina and the northern Philippines. Locations to the south will see another round of afternoon showers and thunderstorms as the drier air fails to make its way to those locales. Temperatures will be very warm across much of the region, especially over southern Indochina where warm air advecting northward ahead the newest surge will heat things up a bit.

TROPICS
The tropics have quieted down significantly following the demise of tropical storm TOKAGE, and due to drier filtering into the region from the north.
The remnants of TOKAGE, although hard to spot, continue to push slowly to the southwest over the South China Sea. A new surge of cooler air from the north will dry out the western tropics, while a recent northerly surge has cleared things out quite nicely over eastern and northern portions of the region. Long-range computer models are showing no development of any significant tropical systems for the foreseeable future. Over all, scattered pockets of instability will combine with the available moisture and warm sunshine to generate a few scattered thunderstorms in spots, especially over western Micronesia.
