.DISCUSSION... Issued at 313 AM EDT Sun Sep 14 2025 An upper-level trough/cutoff low extends southward over the southeastern U.S. and Florida early this morning while at the surface, a frontal boundary sits south of the state and a surface low has developed to the northeast over the Atlantic. Over the next several days, the cutoff low will slowly lift northeast while the surface low moves northward toward the mid-Atlantic coast. Overall, this will keep northeast to east winds in place across the region through the middle part of the week with drier conditions for the northern half of the forecast area and scattered showers and thunderstorms to the south. Moisture then looks to creep back up for the end of the week into next weekend, leading to higher rain chances.
