.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 233 PM EDT Thu Sep 11 2025
The warm weather continues with high pressure over the area into
Friday. Afternoon highs will largely be in the upper 70s to low
80s with inland areas potentially hitting 90 for the first half of
next week. Low temperatures will mostly be in the 50s with some
spots dropping into the 40s tonight. Cooler and low lying areas
may see some fog develop reducing visibilities in spots through
the early morning hours Friday.
Our overall pattern will bring a shortwave trough through the area
for Saturday bringing us a chance for showers and maybe a few
rumbles of thunder during the day Saturday and potentially
lingering into the evening hours. Chances overall haven`t increase
with most in the 20-30 percent chance range. This has trended
slightly downward from the previous forecast with the recent
trends. There is a weakening low level jet that noses into the
area along with some warm air advection. NAM solutions are the
most aggressive with instability, but others keep it more so to
our southwest. The trough axis clears Saturday evening with
subsidence under the building ridge moving in for Sunday which
will be in place through the first half of next week.
