Now through Thursday...
An upper trough over the East Coast slowly moves off through the
weekend. Another upper trough develops over the Lower Mississippi
River Valley over the weekend, then moves slowly east over the
Southeast in the coming week. Weak ridging developing between the
troughs will help a surface ridge develop over the Appalachians over
the weekend, which then builds southwest over the Southeast.
Southeast to southerly flow will move Gulf moisture inland west of
the forecast area in the coming week, which then shifts east over
the forecast area. PoPs increase from the west into the middle of
the coming week in response. Until then, pools of increased moisture
(precipitable h20 water values around 1.5" or a bit higher) working
with a weakness in the upper ridging will allow isolated afternoon
convection to form over the Southeast. For Saturday and Sunday,
guidance is advertising moisture levels high enough for isolated
to low end scattered showers and thunderstorms over most of the
forecast area. This is more in line with the CAMS, with other
guidance advertising dry conditions.
Temperatures remain above seasonal norms through the forecast. High
temperatures in the 90-95 degree range (upper 80s along the coast)
are expected through the weekend, with a bit of a downward trend in
the coming week as rain chances see an uptick. Low temperatures in
the upper 60s to low 70s over the forecast area are expected through
the forecast.
Weak, diurnally driven flow and decreasing tidal cycle will keep the
risk of Rip Currents Low through the weekend into the coming week.
