.DISCUSSION... Issued at 1226 AM CDT Mon Sep 8 2025
Longwave troughing over the Great Lakes region is beginning to lift away to the northeast. As it departs, a weak, residual upper trough is expected to linger across the southeast US through the week. By Friday and into the weekend, the trough begins to amplify, digging further southeast as it moves into the western Atlantic. The base of this trough may dig as far south as the Florida Peninsula. At the surface, the frontal boundary that pushed through the area yesterday has stalled over the central Gulf. Much drier air has begun filtering into the area, allowing for dewpoints this morning to crater into the low to mid 50s. This push of drier air will be very brief, however, as high pressure to our north anchors itself over the Appalachians and a weak low pressure system tries to develop over the east central Gulf. These features will allow for winds to become more easterly, helping to advect moisture back into the area later today from east to west. This could potentially lead to a few isolated showers and storms along coastal counties this afternoon and again on Tuesday afternoon.
By Wednesday, guidance continues to suggest that another cold air damming event could set up across the southeast US as low pressure systems attempt to develop along the stalled front off the US east coast and the high lingers over the Appalachians. If it manages to reach us, it probably will not result in much cooler temperatures, but guidance does suggest that it could lead to drier conditions and lower dewpoints for the remainder of the week and into the weekend. Highs through the period will generally range from the mid 80s to the low 90s and lows will range from the low to mid 60s inland to the upper 60s to low 70s along the coast. A Low Risk of rip currents today quickly increases to a High Risk on Tuesday and Wednesday. The rip current risk subsides back to a Low risk by Thursday. /96
