.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 142 AM CDT Fri Sep 25 2026

Ridging continues to build over the region today into a pseudo Rex
block with a nor`easter off the coast through the weekend. Cloud
cover has finally given way to clearer skies and slightly warmer
temps. Expecting some increasing mid level clouds today and highs in
the mid-upper 70s through the weekend along with dry conditions.

Southerly flow returns early next week along with a slight warming
trend back into the 80s as the block breaks down and ridging reforms
over the region. Mid to late next week still has the potential to be
wet with an approaching southern stream low pressure system. There
is better model agreement than last night but there are still some
key differences primarily in timing and placement. NBM still has
PoPs increasing from west to east Tuesday night and continuing area
wide through Friday (30-60%). This whole period will not be
continuously wet, there will be dry periods. This PoP distribution
is due to the timing differences in the models most likely.
Temperatures look to remain in the 80s through next week.
