DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 213 PM EDT FRI SEP 25 2026
PLEASANT FALL-LIKE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN A WELCOME CHANGE TO THE
HEAT OF THE PREVIOUS WEEKS. FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, WE WILL MAINTAIN
A NORTHERLY FLOW THROUGH THE COLUMN DUE TO THE STRONG LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC/NEW ENGLAND COASTLINE AND A RIDGE OVER
THE GREAT PLAINS. HIGHS IN THE 70S AND LOWS IN THE 40S TO LOWER/MID
50S WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE PATTERN WILL FAVOR DRY
WEATHER AS WELL, WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE FOR MOST OF THE AREA. SOME
HIGH CLOUD ON THE FRINGES OF THE NOR'EASTER COULD REACH OUR NORTHERN
SECTIONS BY MONDAY, WITH NO REAL IMPACT.
AS THE RIDGE TO OUR WEST SHIFTS EAST AND FLATTENS OUT, A
DEVELOPING SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK,
WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S FOR MOST OF THE TN VALLEY BY TUESDAY. THESE
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK. LATE
IN THE WEEK, WE MAY SEE SOME RAIN CHANCES RETURNING AS A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH MAY MOVE INTO THE PLAINS AND MS VALLEY REGION.
