VALID 00Z WED APR 08 2026 - 00Z FRI APR 10 2026
...CHANCES FOR HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...
...ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR THE SOUTHEAST ON
WEDNESDAY...
...CHANCES FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL PLAINS ON
WEDNESDAY...
FAIRLY CALM CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS MUCH OF THE CONUS FOR
THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS AN EXPANSIVE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SUPPRESSES
OUR SUPPLY OF MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR NECESSARY FOR WIDESPREAD
HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER THIS TIME OF YEAR. AS SUCH, MUCH OF
THE WET WEATHER WILL BE FOUND NEAR THE TAIL END OF A STATIONARY
FRONT OVER THE SOUTHEAST FLORIDA COAST AS A DISTURBANCE ALOFT
SUPPORTS SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS, WHICH COULD DRIVE ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED FLOODING OVER URBANIZED AREAS INCLUDING MIAMI THROUGH
THURSDAY. JUST NORTH OF THE FRONT, HOWEVER, THE FORECAST REMAINS
ON TRACK FOR LOCALIZED CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO PERSIST
THIS AFTERNOON OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL GEORGIA OWING TO THE DRY
POST-FRONTAL AIRMASS IN PLACE. OTHERWISE, A CLIPPER SYSTEM SHOULD
TREK ACROSS THE PLAINS THIS WEEK AND DRIVE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE (ONE OR TWO OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG) ACROSS PORTIONS OF
KANSAS AND NEBRASKA TOMORROW. NORTH OF THE FRONT, COOLER THERMAL
PROFILES WILL SUPPORT AN OCCASIONAL WINTRY MIX ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST AS WELL.
TEMPERATURE WISE, COOLER THAN AVERAGE HIGHS AND LOWS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS, OHIO VALLEY, AND THE NORTHEAST THROUGH
MIDWEEK. AS THE HIGH CENTER MOVES OVERHEAD, STRONG RADIATIONAL
COOLING OVERNIGHT COULD LEAD TO OVERNIGHT LOWS WHICH DIP BELOW
FREEZING OVER PORTIONS OF THE OHIO VALLEY AND NORTHEAST, PROMPTING
A HANDFUL OF FREEZE WARNINGS. FORTUNATELY, TEMPERATURES IN THESE
AREAS WILL BEGIN TO RECOVER BEYOND THURSDAY, WITH MUCH OF THE
LOWER 48 EXPECTED TO WARM UP GOING INTO THIS WEEKEND.
