.UPDATE...
Issued at 937 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025
Forecast is on track with minimal updates needed.

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 223 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025
Dry conditions prevail throughout the week as ridging aloft begins
building over the region. An expansive surface high across the Great
Lakes region sends a dry continental polar (cP) air mass south
across eastern CONUS. This will allow our dew points to remain
generally under 60 degrees, leading to pleasant conditions this
week.
By the end of the week the surface high dives south to just offshore
from the southeast US. This will temporarily reestablish southerly
flow over the weekend across the region, leading to some moisture
return. Dew points will climb into the 60s ahead of the next frontal
system on Sunday. The shortwave associated with this frontal feature
will be quickly lifting northeastward, thus the frontal feature is
expected to be weakening as it approaches the region. This will lead
to weak forcing for ascent and low chances for any meaningful
rainfall for the region. Northerly flow and dry air return heading
into next week.
Expect daytime highs generally in the 80s with overnight lows
generally in the mid 50s to low 60s.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 623 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025
VFR conditions will prevail throughout the TAF period.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 223 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025
Gentle to moderate northerly breezes induced by building surface
high pressure will make for favorable boating conditions over the
next several days. Afternoon seabreezes will prompt an onshore
flow along the nearshore legs.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 223 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025
Dry conditions prevail with warm afternoons the next few days under
persistent north-northeasterly winds. Min RHs are forecast to be in
the 30s & 40s for much of the Tri-State area each afternoon.
Elevated fire concerns appear likely as the upcoming week progresses
thanks to prolonged warm & dry conditions under surface high
pressure.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 223 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025
Little to no rainfall is anticipated over the next week. Drought
conditions will therefore persist and/or worsen across much of the
Tri-State area. Visit www.weather.gov/tae/LocalDrought for more
information.
