LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 455 AM EDT TUE OCT 13 2026
THE EXTENDED PERIODS BEGIN WED NIGHT WITH A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE CENTERED JUST OFF THE CAROLINA COAST WITH ITS RIDGE AXIS
EXTENDING FROM THE TX/LA GULF COAST TO THE GA/SC ATLANTIC COAST.
THIS RIDGE STAYS FAIRLY STATIONARY THROUGH THU KEEPING THINGS WARM
AND DRY BUT IT DOES WEAKEN SLOWLY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
TEMPERATURES THU AND FRI WILL BE IN THE 80S TO NEAR 90S WITH LOWS
MAINLY IN THE 60S. AS THIS RIDGE BEGINS TO WEAKEN THU, A FAIRLY
ORGANIZED FRONTAL BOUNDARY BEGINS TO MOVE SE OUT OF THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. IT MAKES ITS WAY SE THU NIGHT/FRI MORNING AND INTO NW GA FRI
AFTERNOON. AS THIS FRONT MOVES SE BOTH THE ECMWF AND THE GFS SHOW IT
LOOSING STRENGTH AS A LOT OF ITS DYNAMICS AND MOISTURE MOVE NE
CLOSER TO THE PARENT LOW CENTER OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND NEW
ENGLAND STATES. JUST THE SOUTHERN TAIL END OF THIS FRONT SWINGS SE
THROUGH GA FRI NIGHT/SAT WITH THE MODELS SHOWING IT MOVING INTO N FL
JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT SUN MORNING. IF THIS HOLDS TRUE ALL WE SHOULD
SEE FROM THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE IS MAYBE SOME INCREASED CLOUD COVER
BUT THE BIGGEST THING WE WILL SEE IS VERY FALL LIKE TEMPS MOVING
INTO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND.
THE MODELS SHOW A VERY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE MOVING EAST OUT OF
THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS SAT AND ALSO BUILDING SOUTH INTO GA
BEHIND THE EXITING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS RIDGE WILL BRING A
COOLER/DRIER AIRMASS TO THE REGION SAT WITH HIGH TEMPS EXPECTED IN
THE 60S AND 70S. LOW TEMPS SUN MORNING WILL DIP DOWN INTO THE 40S
AND 50S. MAY EVEN SEE SOME UPPER 30S ACROSS THE NE GA MOUNTAINS.
SUNDAYS HIGH TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S WITH SOME
50S ACROSS THE NE GA MOUNTAINS. LOOKS LIKE "SWEATER WEATHER" IS ON
THE HORIZON.
