    work week amid a gradual warming trend.

  - Rain chances begin to increase by the weekend, especially by
    late Saturday into Sunday.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Wednesday)
Issued at 221 PM EDT Tue Oct 27 2026

Dry, temperate, and mostly sunny conditions will persist through the
short term. At the surface, high pressure presently centered over
Quebec into northern New England will gradually slide off the
Atlantic coastline through Wednesday evening, maintaining our
ongoing CAD setup. Meanwhile, ridging aloft will gradually begin to
flatten on Wednesday in a transition to southwesterly flow ahead of
a weekend storm system.

What this means for sensible weather is more of the same that we`ve
seen over the past week or so: overnight and morning temperatures
remaining cool (lows in the 40s to low 50s Wednesday morning
moderating to more widespread 50s for many areas by Thursday
morning) with highs near normal on Wednesday (highs in the 70s for
most).

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday morning through next Monday)
Issued at 221 PM EDT Tue Oct 27 2026

High pressure over the southeast is expected to spin in place
through the rest of the work week and into the weekend. As the days
continue to grow shorter and the leaves drop, we`ll need to be
mindful of the combination of dry fuels and low relative humidity as
we being our fall Fire Season.

Temperatures during the daytime will climb into the low to mid 70s
across most of the CWA before we see some low 80s before the weekend
as the winds swing around to the south. As that high pressure begins
to break down, we`ll see the chances of showers and possibly a
thunderstorm start to increase late on Saturday evening before
sweeping through on Sunday. While the threat of severe weather is
marginal, the models do show a decent amount of rain on Sunday with
values ranging from 1.5-2.5". Current drought conditions should
minimize the overall flood threat, though some localized flash
flooding will be possible with training storms and in the metro
area.

The system will clear out late Sunday, giving us a few more days of
clear fall weather before the models start to disagree on what`s
coming next.
