NEAR TERM
(REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 851 AM CDT MON OCT 26 2026
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED ACROSS THE MID SOUTH THROUGH
THE MID ATLANTIC STATES THIS MORNING. THIS WILL MAINTAIN ANOTHER
PLEASANT FALL DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S (HIGHER ELEVATIONS)
TO LOWER 70S (VALLEYS) THIS AFTERNOON. A RIDGE-VALLEY SPLIT OF
10-12 DEGREES WILL OCCUR TONIGHT AGAIN WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE
LOWER 40S TO LOWER 50S.
SHORT TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 851 AM CDT MON OCT 26 2026
OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS, THE HIGH WILL SHIFT TO THE MID ATLANTIC
AND NEW ENGLAND REGIONS. A 5H RIDGE OVER THE GULF OF AMERICA INTO
THE SOUTHEAST U.S. WILL SHIFT INTO THE CAROLINAS AND FL PENINSULA
WHILE WEAKENING. THIS WILL ALLOW A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES TO ENTER
THE MID SOUTH AND OH VALLEYS, BUT WILL ONLY BRING A FEW HIGH
CLOUDS. OTHERWISE, TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN SIMILAR WITH HIGHS IN
THE MIDDLE 70S IN THE VALLEYS) AND UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ATOP HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE CUMBERLAND REGION.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 858 PM CDT SUN OCT 25 2026
ANOTHER RIDGE WILL ATTEMPT TO BUILD BACK INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY
LATE THIS WEEK, RESULTING IN SUNNY/DRY WEATHER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
AND HIGHS CLIMBING TO AROUND 80 DEGREES EACH DAY. THE RIDGE WILL
BEGIN TO SHIFT EAST ON SATURDAY, WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING OVER TEXAS AND THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, SATURDAY (HALLOWEEN)
LOOKS TO BE A WARM/DRY DAY WITH INCREASING CLOUD COVER -- WITH
POTENTIALLY SOME LOW RAIN CHANCES RETURNING TO THE FORECAST
SATURDAY EVENING. MEDIUM CHANCES OF SHOWERS WILL RETURN TO THE
FORECAST LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE LOW QUICKLY SHIFTS
EASTWARD ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. THIS WILL GIVE THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY, IT'S BEST SHOT AT APPRECIABLE RAINFALL IN A COUPLE WEEKS.
WE WILL NEED TO RESOLVE THE TIMING OF THE SYSTEM BETTER, BUT OUR
GREATEST CONFIDENCE APPEARS TO BE ON SUNDAY FOR NOW.
