.DISCUSSION (Today through Sunday)...
Issued at 316 AM EDT Mon Sep 7 2026

Dry and near normal conditions again today as subsidence and
northerly flow will continue to influence the weather across the
area. Surface flow will start to shift to out of the south Tuesday
as the upper high returns to the area, and bringing with it a return
of above normal temperatures. Luckily lower dew points are expected
with this brief return of than was seen last week, so heat indices
should largely stay below to near 100.

The upper ridging will start to break down midweek while troughing
over Canada and the northern portion of the CONUS sag into the Great
Lakes region. A surface cold front associated with the troughing
will bring chances for rain and storms late Wednesday through
Thursday. At this time can`t rule out isolated damaging winds
with the line of storms, but confidence is low at this time.

Temperatures will again drop back down to near normal behind the
front. Models are showing additional waves moving through for the
weekend and into early next week which could bring fluctuating
temperatures and periodic chances for rain. Timing and details
remain unclear at this time however.

.AVIATION (06Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 156 AM EDT Mon Sep 7 2026

Impacts:

- Northeasterly gusts up to 20kts Monday

Discussion:

VFR conditions expected through the TAF period with mostly clear
skies other than passing thin cirrus. Northeasterly winds tonight
will generally remain between 4 and 10kts before strengthening in
the morning as the boundary layer begins to deepen. Peak gusts will
be around 20kts with winds dropping back closer to 5-10kts towards
sunset Monday.

Can`t completely rule out the chance for fog at the outlying
sites during the early morning hours, but confidence is not high
enough to include at this time.
