DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 132 AM EDT SUN OCT 25 2026
CURRENTLY, A STRONG UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS CENTERED TO OUR
SOUTHWEST OVER THE SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY WITH SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE
SUBSIDENCE WITH COOL MORNING LOWS AND MILD DAYTIME HIGHS. EFFICIENT
MIXING WILL ALLOW RH'S TO DROP INTO THE 30S AND UPPER 20S WITH WEAK
FLOW AND MSLP GRADIENT KEEPING WINDS LIGHT. EARLY IN THE WEEK, THE
RIDGE WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTING
ALMOST DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA. THE HEIGHT RISES WILL LEAD TO A
SLIGHT WARMING TREND AND CONTINUED DAYTIME MIXING KEEPING RH VALUES
LOW.
THIS SAME GENERAL PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK
AND INTO THE WEEKEND FOR HALLOWEEN WITH ADDITIONAL HEIGHT RISES
POTENTIALLY PUSHING HIGHS CLOSER TO 80 DEGREES FOR SOME. OTHERWISE,
LOW RHS AND LIGHT WINDS WILL KEEP LIMITED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS IN
THE FORECAST EACH DAY, BUT THANKFULLY ONLY ABOUT 10 PERCENT OF THE
AREA IS IN DROUGHT AT THIS TIME.
