(Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 334 AM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024 The extended forecast begins will a large strong upper level ridge centered over East TX/LA keeping things mainly dry across the southeastern states. This ridge moves slowly east through the beginning of next week becoming centered over FL by Tuesday morning. This ridge keeps the main area of precipitation North of the state through the middle of next week before slowly breaking down by day 6/7. This ridge will also help keep temps unseasonably warm with highs Sun through Wed in the upper 80s to lower 90s. As we get closer to the end of next week there is still a lot of uncertainty with the potential tropical development in the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico. Most of the models are in agreement that something will develop but the differences in location, strength, and intensity of whatever develops are all over the map. Will continue to monitor over the next few days as guidance should come into better agreement. 01 && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024 VFR through the period.
