SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 146 PM EST SUN DEC 21 2025
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON REVEALS AN UPPER TROUGH
SWINGING ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS AS RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AT THIS SURFACE, A WEAK COLD FRONT IS
MAKING A SOUTHERLY PUSH DOWN THE STATE. A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS CAN
BE SEEN ON RADAR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BOUNDARY. WE WILL HANG ONTO
LOW CHANCE FOR SHOWERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR
THIS. OVERALL, RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE MINIMAL. OTHERWISE FOR
TODAY, LOOK FOR HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S ACROSS OUR NORTHERN AREA TO
THE UPPER 60S TO THE SOUTH.
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE CAROLINAS TONIGHT INTO MONDAY,
SHIFTING OUR NORTHERLY WINDS TO THE EAST. THIS WILL PROVIDE ANOTHER
SHOT OF COOLER AND DRIER AIR TO THE REGION. WE KNOCK A FEW DEGREES
OFF OUR HIGHS ON MONDAY WITH TEMPS TOPPING OUT IN THE MID 50S TO MID
60S.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 146 PM EST SUN DEC 21 2025
A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH MUCH OF THE
LONG TERM. AS A RESULT, WE WILL SEE A STRETCH OF WARMER AND DRIER
WEATHER. HIGH TEMPS ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS CLIMB INTO THE
LOW TO MID 70S. LATEST GUIDANCE HINTS AT A LOW (~20%) CHANCE FOR
HIGHS TO HIT 80 ON CHRISTMAS DAY FOR OUR SOUTHERN AREA.
ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA ON FRIDAY AS A SHORTWAVE SLIDES
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. FOR NOW, WE WILL CARRY A LOW CHANCE OF
SHOWERS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES.
