Isolated showers and storms are possible over the coastal counties

are possible with the showers and storms, and IFR to MVFR
conditions are possible with late night patchy fog. VFR conditions

.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Thursday night)
Issued at 1139 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024

An upper trof over the eastern states begins to move off into the
western Atlantic Thursday night while an upper ridge which
extends from the south central states to the Great Lakes region
inches eastward and strengthens a bit. A weak and diffuse surface
trof over the coastal counties may allow for some spotty showers
and storms to develop this afternoon. Dry conditions are otherwise
expected through Thursday night as drier air currently filtering
into interior portions of the area continues into the remainder of
the area. Lows tonight and Thursday night range from the mid 60s
well inland to the lower 70s at the coast. Highs on Thursday will
be around 90. A low risk of rip currents is expected through
Thursday night. /29
