.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

High pressure ridging and light northerly flow will continue
tonight and Saturday, under mainly clear skies. Cool temperatures
will continue tonight with lows mainly in the mid 50s. Expect
slightly warmer highs on Saturday, climbing into the low to mid
80s./15/

Saturday night through Thursday...

The building upper ridge combined with drier air advecting across
the southeast CONUS will allow for dry and quiet conditions to
persist across our CWA through the weekend.

Regarding the concerns for fire wx, RHs will drop to around 35-40%
across much of our forecast area Saturday and Sunday which could
cause some low-end fire weather concerns. RHs values will continue
to be monitored as we get through the weekend.

Heading into the new work week, the upper ridge axis will shift
slightly eastward. This will help maintain the sfc high pressure
system across the Deep South. Because of this, dry conditions will
continue across our CWA. Temperatures will begin to trend upward
looking ahead into the mid week as global guidance still shows
surface trajectories taking on a more southerly component. Dry and
quiet conditions will continue heading into Friday. /CR/
