.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1108 AM CDT Sun Oct 25 2026
An upper ridge over the eastern states and an upper trof just off
the East Coast slowly shift eastward through Wednesday, with the
upper ridge weakening somewhat and becoming oriented mainly near/along
the East Coast. The upper ridge continues to weaken on Thursday,
then a large upper trof well off to the west looks to send a
vigorous series of shortwaves downstream which progress across the
forecast area Friday night into Saturday. A strong surface ridge
prevails over the region through Friday then begins to weaken
somewhat Saturday. A dry northeasterly surface flow continues over
the area through Thursday, then gradually transitions to a
southeasterly flow on Saturday. Have continued with a dry forecast
through Friday, then slight chance to chance pops return to the
western half of the area on Saturday as deep layer moisture
improves late in the week and into the weekend.
Highs on Monday range from the mid 70s to around 80, then upper
70s to lower 80s follow for Tuesday and slowly trend to mostly
80-85 by Saturday. Lows tonight range from around 50 well inland
to 55-60 at the coast, then Monday night and Tuesday night will be
similar except for a bit cooler well inland. A moderating trend
follows through Saturday night by which time lows will range from
around 60 well inland to the mid 60s at the coast. A High Risk of
rip currents is expected through Monday, with a moderate risk for
Tuesday and Wednesday. A High Risk of rip currents is anticipated
to return on Thursday. /29
