DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 137 PM EDT THU SEP 24 2026
CURRENTLY A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS PARTS OF THE PLATEAU AND
THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WE SHOULD
CONTINUE TO SEE THESE SLOWLY WORK THEIR WAY THROUGH THE REGION AS
THE TROUGH ALSO SWINGS THROUGH OVERHEAD... NO MAJOR IMPACTS ARE
EXPECTED FROM THESE SHOWERS AND FEW THUNDERSTORMS.
MORE NOTABLE IS THAT IT'S TURNED MUCH COOLER TODAY AND EVEN WITH THE
SUN TRYING TO COME OUT IT'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE FALL WITH
TEMPERATURES MUCH LOWER THAN THE PREVIOUS WEEKS. THIS FALL LIKE
WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES
AND LOWER DEW POINTS. RAIN CHANCES DON'T LOOK TO RETURN UNTIL AT
LEAST THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK NEXT WEEK. A LOW AND FRONT LOOK TO TRY
AND MOVE THROUGH THE US, BUT MODELS DISAGREE WITH THE TIMING AND THE
STRENGTH. BUT THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR NEXT WEEK, IN THE MEANTIME ENJOY
THE WEATHER FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 137 PM EDT THU SEP 24 2026
LINGERING LOW LEVEL CLOUDS WILL EVENTUALLY TRY AND BURN OFF, BUT
COULD CAUSE BRIEF FLUCTUATIONS INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY AT THE
AIRPORTS. BASED ON RAIN OVERNIGHT HAVE OPTED INTO FOG IN THE TAFS,
AND CONFIDENCE SHOULD INCREASE WHEN WE SEE HOW MUCH CLEARING
OCCURS TODAY.
