.NEAR TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 238 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
Troughing over the eastern CONUS is forecast to continue today
with northeasterly winds remaining at the surface. A stalled front
currently draped south of our Gulf waters will continue to slowly
push southward and further away from our area. Dry and partly
cloudy to mostly sunny conditions are expected today, with highs
in the mid 80s to low 90s this afternoon. Low relative humidity
today will keep max heat indices near the actual temperatures as
well. Lows overnight are forecast in the low to mid 60s inland and
the upper 60s near the coast.

.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 238 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
The pattern described for today above pretty much remains in place
through the rest of the period. Troughing in some capacity is
forecast to remain over the region aloft with generally
northeasterly winds at the surface. This will keep the warm but
dry air mass overhead and conditions fairly pleasant for the
upcoming week. No rain is currently forecast, and high
temperatures are expected to generally remain in the upper 80s to
mid 90s each day. Dry conditions will also keep heat indices
pretty close to the ambient temperatures as well. Low temperatures
are forecast in the 60s.

VFR through the period with NE winds generally less than 10 kts.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 238 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
Small craft advisory continues into today for most waters. A
pesky boundary south of our Gulf waters is responsible for the
uptick in winds and marine convection will gradually shift
southward later this week while high pressure slowly builds
across the southeast US into the northeast Gulf. Showers become
few and far between beginning late week while winds gradually
decrease though periods of cautionary conditions may occur
overnight with offshore northeasterly surges.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 238 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
Breezy northeasterly flow and dry conditions are expected for the
rest of the week and into the weekend. This will lead to pockets
of high dispersions across the area each day. While drier
conditions are forecast through the period, RH values are
forecast to remain above critical thresholds. Therefore, fire
weather concerns remain fairly low.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 238 AM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
No flooding is expected this week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
