.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1229 PM EST Tue Nov 11 2025

In the upper levels, a deep trough remains over the Eastern U.S.
This weekend, the region will be stuck between a weak ridge over the
Southeast and a strong trough to the north. At the surface, high
pressure will be over the region through Saturday bringing dry
weather. On Sunday, a weak frontal passage is possible as a
system moves through the Great Lakes. Very low rain chances will
be possible on Sunday but it looks likely to be a dry and
uneventful passage with only a slight dip in dew points and temps
behind it. By Monday or Tuesday of next week, a more substantial
system will be possible and may include a soaking rain.

Temperatures will start to rebound today getting to near normal by
tomorrow with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s. This weekend
will be a bit warmer with highs near 70 for much of the Valley due
to southerly winds.
