.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 936 PM CDT Thu Oct 22 2026
Dry, seasonable to slightly below seasonable norms continues for
the foreseeable future across the region. Temperatures generally
stay in the middle to upper 70's most days, with the warmest day
being today where some spots may see lower 80's. Overnight lows
stay chilly in the middle to upper 40's over the interior and
lower 50's near the coast.
We remain on the western periphery of upper troughing the next
couple days before upper ridging begins moving in overhead. A
reinforcing shot of cool, dry air comes in from the northeast
Friday into the weekend as Cold Air Damming sets up across the
Carolinas and spills southwest into our area. This will keep
things quite dry with some fire weather concerns materializing
this weekend as winds strengthen Saturday into Sunday. While
winds won't be particularly strong, wind gusts of 20 to 30mph
can't be ruled out this weekend across the area which could cause
localized issues with any weakened/damaged trees across south-
central Alabama into the western Florida Panhandle. Winds and any
lingering fire danger should relax into early next week, with more
or less the same temperatures and dry forecast anticipated as we
head through the first half of the week. A Low risk of rip
currents today will become moderate tonight. The risk rapidly
increases into daybreak Saturday, with a High risk for rip
currents becoming established Saturday morning, lingering through
the day Monday. The risk will gradually tape into the middle of
the week. MM/25
