.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1122 AM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026
A highly amplified upper ridge extending from the western Gulf
into the Great Lakes region slowly progresses into the eastern
states through Monday as an upper trof just off the East Coast
drifts a bit further eastward. The upper ridge/trof pattern shifts
slowly eastward through Wednesday with the upper ridge meanwhile
dampening and becoming oriented near the East Coast. The upper
ridge then rebuilds over the eastern states going into Friday. A
surface ridge remains over the region for the most part and
promotes a prevailing northeasterly flow over the forecast area
through the period. Dry conditions are expected through Friday,
and it's possible that some isolated showers may affect the
western portion of the area next Saturday. Highs of Sunday and
Monday range from the mid 70s to around 80, then upper 70s to
lower 80s are expected for Tuesday through Thursday, gradually
trending to mostly the lower 80s by next Saturday. Lows tonight
range from the upper 40s well inland to the mid/upper 50s at the
coast with similar values through Wednesday night before trending
to the mid 50s to lower 60s by Friday night. A High Risk of rip
currents is expected through Monday, then a moderate risk follows
for Monday night through Wednesday. /29
