.NEAR AND SHORT TERM...
(Today through Thursday night)
Issued at 1243 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025
Surface high pressure weakens through the period while an upper
level ridge over the region will begin to break down ahead of our
next frontal system. The persistent easterly flow regime we`ve
been under will likely continue into Wednesday night but it
should lighten up as upper level flow becomes more amplified
ahead of our next front.
By Thursday and Thursday night, this frontal system (a backdoor
cold front which will move in from the northeast) will be on the
doorstep with stronger northeasterly flow expected to begin
redeveloping across the area as surface high pressure begins to
build in from the northeast.
Mostly dry conditions should prevail through the middle of the
week but a few isolated showers and possibly an isolated
thunderstorm can`t be ruled out the next few days.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 1243 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025
As the upper level pattern becomes highly amplified across the US
and a trough begins to develop across the southeast states, the
backdoor front is expected to push through the forecast area.
Further east of the region, and helping to aid in the
northeasterly flow, cyclogenesis should begin to take shape off
the east coast of Florida. This pattern will reinforce the
stronger northeasterly flow across the region and allow dry
conditions to continue. It should also allow cooler temperatures
back into the forecast with many locations likely seeing overnight
lows drop into the 50s at some point this weekend.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 653 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025
MVFR/IFR cigs are ongoing at area terminals with some locations
seeing LIFR. For any terminals seeing restrictions currently,
conditions will begin to improve between 14z and 16z with VFR
conditions prevailing thereafter with easterly winds around 5 to
10 knots.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1243 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025
Conditions dry out through the middle of the week with east to
northeast flow remaining in place. Transport winds should
decrease Tuesday and Wednesday with good dispersions remaining in
place as conditions warm. Chance for wetting rains remain low
into the upcoming weekend. Recent rains should keep fire weather
concerns on the lower side but as a frontal system moves through
late this week and into the weekend, fire concerns will increase
some.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1243 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025
No significant hydrological issues are expected in the next seven
days with mostly dry conditions forecast. Riverine issues are not
anticipated either given lower flows on area rivers. Recent rains
have not been enough to improve drought conditions are it`s likely
current drought conditions will persist through at least the next
7 to 10 days.
