DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 245 AM EDT SAT APR 25 2026
FOR OUR WEEKEND RIDGING WILL REMAIN OVERHEAD WITH HIGHS IN THE MID
TO UPPER 80'S. HIGH RES MODEL CONTINUE TO SHOW PW IN THE AFTERNOON
BETWEEN 1.25 AND 1.5. THIS SHOULD BE JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE TO DEVELOP
A FEW SHOWERS IN THE INTERIOR OF THAT STATE ALONG THE SEABREEZE.
AS WE START OUR NEXT WORK WEEK WE WILL SEE A WEAK COLD FRONT PUSH
THROUGH THE STATE. ONCE AGAIN WE WILL SEE A FEW SHOWER IN THE
INTERIOR DUE TO THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. AFTER THAT WE WILL SEE
DRIER CONDITIONS IN THE MID LEVELS CUTTING OFF ANY SHOWER CHANCES
FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. THE DRIER CONDITIONS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR
MORE SUNSHINE AND WARMER CONDITIONS WITH HIGHS GETTING INTO THE LOW
90'S EACH AFTERNOON AWAY FROM THE COAST.

STRONG RIDGING OVER THE AREA WILL KEEP WINDS OUT OF THE

PUSH THROUGH ON MONDAY. THIS WILL SHIFT WINDS TO THE NORTH ON MONDAY
BEFORE SHIFTING EAST AND THEN SOUTHEAST THROUGH MID WEEK. SPEEDS
WILL REMAIN AROUND 5 KNOTS.
FIRE WEATHER
ISSUED AT 245 AM EDT SAT APR 25 2026
RHS WILL REMAIN JUST ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS EACH AFTERNOON
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. A SMALL INCREASE IN UPPER

AREAS HOWEVER THIS SHOWER ACTIVITY IS NOT EXPECTED TO IMPROVE
DROUGHT CONDITIONS.
