.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Fri Sep 25 2026

Dry conditions are expected through early next week as a continental
air mass continues to funnel down from the north thanks to a storm
system over the Eastern Seaboard. Cloud cover kept temperatures
cooler this morning, but still expecting highs in the low to mid 80s
this afternoon due to ample sunshine. This is only slightly below
average, and unfortunately, today is the coolest day in the forecast
as highs are expected to climb back to above normal by Sunday (upper
80s to around 90), lasting through at least midweek. However, given
the dry air mass, overnight lows will remain quite comfortable with
low to mid 60s away from the coast through Monday night. Several
spots over the interior will likely even see some lows in the 50s.

A pattern change is expected by the middle to latter half of next
week as the east coast trough departs and a new trough swings into
the Southern Plains. At the same time, surface high pressure will
develop along the East Coast, helping to initiate a return flow from
the southeast by mid to late week. This will gradually increase
moisture and bring a return to at least scattered shower and storm
chances starting as early as Wednesday, though some isolated sea
breeze convection cannot be ruled out Monday and/or Tuesday
afternoons.

At the beaches, a Moderate risk of rip currents continues for
Alabama and Florida Panhandle beaches through tonight, becoming a
Low risk for Saturday through early next week. JGC/98

Post frontal light to moderate northeasterly flow continues through
