.DISCUSSION... Issued at 208 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
Surface high pressure will continue to build into our region behind the cold front that moved through last night. Upper level ridging over the western U.S. will slide over our region during the weekend. This will give us dry and pleasant conditions tonight through the weekend and into early next week. Temperatures will be seasonable through Saturday, then we will see a little bit of a warmup Sunday as the upper level ridge moves overhead, with temperatures a few degrees above normal Sunday through Tuesday.
By Tuesday into mid week, models show a tropical system moving onto the southeast coast and weakening as it meanders over the southeastern U.S. High pressure over our region should keep the system off to our southeast and keep our forecast dry, but it will be something to watch if the remnants of the tropical system can push farther west. Some models show some light rain in our area Thursday, but time will tell.
