Issued at 319 AM EDT Sat Sep 26 2026 Monday - Friday Night As the high pressure begins to shift east of the Ohio Valley on Tuesday, southerly flow will return. This will lead to increasing temperatures back into the mid 80s by mid week. Moisture will also begin to advect back into the area rising dewpoints back into the 60s by Thursday. A shortwave disturbance is expected to move through the Great Lakes region, while a low pressure system develops over the Plains. Frontal boundaries associated with both systems will bring precip chances back into the forecast Wednesday and Thursday.

Additional rain showers are expected to move across the area as the second boundary pushes through. This could linger into Friday night as the low pressure system begins to eject into the northern stream. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/...
