Discussion
Issued at 1106 AM CDT Mon Oct 26 2026
An upper ridge over much of the eastern states weakens somewhat and becomes oriented near/along the East Coast through Wednesday. An essentially zonal flow develops over the area on Thursday, then a series of shortwaves move across the region Friday with the potential for an upper trof to move across the area late Saturday night into Sunday. A strong surface ridge over the eastern states becomes oriented over the southeastern states by Thursday, then a surface low or inverted surface trof looks to approach (or move into) the forecast area late this weekend. Dry conditions continue over the area through Friday, then slight chance to chance pops follow for Saturday and Sunday. There could be the potential for some strong storms this weekend depending on how the pattern plays out which will be monitored. Highs on Tuesday will be mostly in the upper 70s to lower 80s then slowly trend to mostly in the lower to mid 80s by Sunday. Lows tonight through Wednesday night range from the mid/upper 40s well inland to the mid/upper 50s at the coast then trend by Friday night to around 60 well inland to the mid 60s near the coast, with similar values continuing into this weekend. A High Risk of rip currents today will be followed by a moderate risk for tonight through Wednesday night, then a High Risk returns for Thursday and Friday. /29
