.DISCUSSION... Issued at 1155 AM CDT Tue Sep 9 2025
An upper shortwave stretching from south-central Canada to the Dakotas will dive east-southeastward though midweek allowing the trough over eastern North America to become highly amplified on Friday. This trough will slowly shift eastward, with the axis reaching the Eastern Seaboard on Saturday. In the meantime, an upper ridge builds over the nation`s midsection. A weak surface low pressure system across the east-central Gulf will gradually dissipate through midweek, while a strong surface ridge remains across the southeast states. The surface ridge will weaken through the remainder of the week, but remain largely intact through early next week. A deep dry northerly flow above 700mb and large-scale subsidence will keep our area rain-free through the entire forecast, with only a daily occurrence of fair-weather cumulus clouds expected.
After one more day with temperatures around to slightly above normal on Wednesday, we will see highs rebound to 3 to 6 degrees above normal the latter part of the week into early next week. Lows will continue to be around to slightly below normal through the remainder of the week before nudging upward to around to slightly above normal early next week.
Beach Forecast - The rip current risk will remain HIGH through midweek as the tight pressure gradient maintains a strong easterly component to the winds along the coast. The rip current probability guidance then trends toward a LOW risk Thursday through Saturday. /22
