.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1052 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2026

Dry weather prevails across the region for the foreseeable future.
Temperatures continue to remain around average for highs generally
in the middle to upper 70`s most days, with perhaps a spot or two
getting above 80 any given day. Overnight lows will generally be
below normal in the middle to upper 40`s over the interior and lower
50`s near the coast.

We remain on the western periphery of upper troughing the next
couple days before upper ridging begins moving in overhead. A
reinforcing shot of cool, dry air comes in from the northeast Friday
into the weekend as Cold Air Damming sets up across the Carolinas
tightening up the pressure gradient across the area and reinforcing
cool, dry air southwest into our region. The combination of low
afternoon relative humidity and gusty winds may result in elevated
fire weather concerns this weekend. Caution should be used if any
outdoor burning is necessary. A High risk of rip currents goes into
effect this morning, lingering through Monday night. The risk
will gradually taper into the middle of the week. MM/25
