SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 213 PM EDT SAT OCT 24 2026
CURRENT SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
AREA WITH SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDS STREAMING ACROSS NE GA CAUGHT IN THE
DRY COLD AIR ADVECTION COMING IN FROM THE CAROLINAS. MODELS CONTINUE
TO SHOW A FAIRLY STRONG WEDGE BUILDING DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD
WITH THE RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC/NEW ENGLAND STATES.
THIS RIDGE/WEDGE IS KEEPING THINGS DRY BUT WITH THE OVERALL
EASTERLY FLOW WE ARE SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE RETURN FROM THE
ATLANTIC. THIS MOISTURE RETURN IS KEEPING RH VALUES ABOVE CRITICAL
FIRE DANGER THRESHOLDS AND WE WILL SEE SOME INCREASE CLOUD COVER AS
WE GO INTO NEXT WEEK. WITH THE WEDGE BUILDING INTO THE ARE AND A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM ROTATION OFF THE GA/FL COAST, THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
IS TIGHTENING ACROSS THE AREA CREATING GUSTY NE WINDS. SEEING E TO NE
WINDS SPEEDS IN THE 10-15KT RANGE WITH GUST 25-30KT THIS AFTERNOON.
THESE WINDS SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH OVER NIGHT BUT HEY WILL
PICK BACK UP AGAIN SUN.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY MORNING THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 213 PM EDT SAT OCT 24 2026
A MID LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED OVER CENTRAL CONUS WILL SLOWLY SHIFT
EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WITH OUR AREA ALONG ITS EASTERN
PERIPHERY, NORTHERLY FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION HEADING
INTO THE START OF THE WEEK. COMBINED WITH A WEAK LOW PRESSURE
FEATURE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST, THIS WILL SUPPORT A CONTINUATION OF
THE HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE PATTERN SEEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS,
ALONG WITH A RELATIVELY DRY NORTHEAST WIND COMPONENT. WITH THIS IN
MIND, EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE 40S TO
LOW 50S, WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE 70S AND NO CHANCE OF RAIN TO
ROUND OUT OCTOBER.
AS WE MOVE INTO THE LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK, THE UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN BEGINS TO SHIFT. A DEVELOPING TROUGH ACROSS THE PLAINS AND
ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW COULD EVENTUALLY INCREASE OUR LOCAL RAIN
CHANCES AS THE SYSTEM PROPAGATES EASTWARD, THOUGH THE OUTCOME
REMAINS UNCERTAIN AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY NOVEMBER.
