.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 309 AM EDT Thu Jun 4 2026

Clear skies are again expected today as ridging and high pressure
is centered over Georgia between the coastal low off the Outer
Banks and the troughing over the plains. This will continue to
keep winds out of the northeast which will also limit gulf
moisture funneling into the area. As a result not only will rain
chances be non existent, dewpoints will be pleasant for this time
of year. Temps today will be a tad warmer than yesterday topping
out in the low to mid 80s and lows will be in the mid 50s this
morning and upper 50s for Friday morning. Overall a pleasant next
couple of days of weather in store for early June so enjoy it
while you can!

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 309 AM EDT Thu Jun 4 2026

Drier and pleasant (for June) conditions look to persist at the
start of the long term on Saturday, though dewpoints will begin to
creep back into the 60s as the position of the surface high shifts
into the west Atlantic. Any appreciable increase in PoPs still
should hold off until Sunday as southwesterly flow around an upper
ridge brings both resurgent moisture and shortwave disturbances to
our west. Initially, most of our convection looks to remain of the
diurnally-driven summerlike variety from late weekend into early
next week. There are signals that a surface high building into New
England early-to-mid week next week could send a backdoor front
southward toward the region by midweek.

Daytime temperatures will largely be near to slightly below normal,
ranging through the 80s, while overnight lows will trend upward by
late weekend into early next week into the upper 60s to near 70 as
moisture returns.
