.SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Saturday) Issued at 141 PM EDT Fri Sep 12 2025
Surface high pressure nosing into the region from the northeast will continue through the short term. In tandem with a mid level trough over the eastern seaboard, drier air/northerly flow at multiple levels will not only keep pops and QPF out of the forecast, but also keep drier dewpoints in it. Probably the only story with the short term forecast will be the range of daily temperatures. Max T`s will be running 3-5 deg above normal and overnight Mins will be running 3-5 deg below normal... all stemming from the drier airmass in place.

.LONG TERM...
Key Messages:
- Dry pattern continues through the middle of next week.
- High temps expected in the upper 80s and lower 90s.
No major changes in the weather pattern with continued dry conditions expected through at least day 7. Upper level troughing slowly drifts eastward becoming centered over coastal Carolina with the surface high pressure ridge remaining fairly stationary along the eastern seaboard. Minimal moisture return expected over the next 7 days so at most we may see a day or two with increased cloud cover. With dewpoints expected in the 50s to lower 60s, and afternoon highs in the 80s to near 90, Min relative humidity values will stay in the 30% to 400% range through the period. With these expected dry conditions drought level will surely rise through the end of next week. Would not be surprised to see some D1 drought levels creep into the state.
