.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 141 PM EDT Fri Sep 12 2025
Surface high pressure nosing into the region from the
northeast will continue through the short term. In tandem with a
mid level trough over the eastern seaboard, drier air/northerly
flow at multiple levels will not only keep pops and QPF out of
the forecast, but also keep drier dewpoints in it. Probably the
only story with the short term forecast will be the range of daily
temperatures. Max T`s will be running 3-5 deg above normal and
overnight Mins will be running 3-5 deg below normal... all
stemming from the drier airmass in place.

.LONG TERM...
Key Messages:
- Dry pattern continues through the middle of next week.
- High temps expected in the upper 80s and lower 90s.
No major changes in the weather pattern with continued dry conditions
expected through at least day 7. Upper level troughing slowly drifts
eastward becoming centered over coastal Carolina with the surface
high pressure ridge remaining fairly stationary along the eastern
seaboard. Minimal moisture return expected over the next 7 days so
at most we may see a day or two with increased cloud cover. With
dewpoints expected in the 50s to lower 60s, and afternoon highs in
the 80s to near 90, Min relative humidity values will stay in the
30% to 400% range through the period. With these expected dry
conditions drought level will surely rise through the end of next
week. Would not be surprised to see some D1 drought levels creep
into the state.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 128 PM EDT Fri Sep 12 2025
Surface ridge nosing into the region from the northeast and will
be in control of this cycle. Winds will remain out of the east
through the period and light. Given the low RH values in the
layer, clouds will be on the few side and confined to the
daytime.
