no significant changes to the forecast.

.NEAR TERM...
(Through Thursday)
Issued at 203 PM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
No significant weather concerns today and tonight. High pressure
centered near Hudson`s Bay extends southward into the eastern
CONUS with the ridge axis west of the region locking in low to mid-
level northeast flow. This inhibit the seabreeze, and along with
anomalously low PWAT, will ensure dry weather. Highs in the mid to
upper 80s today and upper 80s to near 90F on Thursday. Meanwhile,
winds are expected to decouple tonight, so lows should drop a bit
below guidance, ranging from some upper 50s in the more sheltered
locals with low to mid-60s elsewhere. The inverted-v/caret profile
on model soundings today and tomorrow, along with turbulent mixing,
will promote turbulent mixing with dew points expected to fall
several degrees below guidance each afternoon and evening; This
translates to dew points in the 50s away from the Gulf Coast this
afternoon and evening and again Thursday afternoon and evening,
so a very comfortable air mass.

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 203 PM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
Omega blocking pattern sets up through early next week featuring
ridging through the central US and and troughing on either side. In
the low levels, northeasterly winds will persist with high pressure
in the northeast and ridging stretching down the Appalachians. PWATs
will be closer to an inch with virtually dry conditions forecast
through the period. High temperatures are expected to generally
remain in the upper 80s to mid 90s each day. Dry conditions will
also keep heat indices pretty close to the ambient temperatures as
well. Low temperatures are forecast in the 60s.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 702 PM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
VFR conditions prevail with light NE winds.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 203 PM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
High pressure builds into the northern Gulf this period as a
stationary boundary finally moves off the Florida east coast by the
weekend. Primarily northeasterly winds on the south side of the
ridging will promote overnight easterly wind surges into the Gulf
with periods of cautionary conditions possible. Minimal chances for
showers are expected through the middle of next week.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 203 PM EDT Wed Sep 10 2025
A dry period of weather is on tap until at least the middle of
next week. Moderate northeast transport winds on Thursday with
mixing heights between 5,000 and 6,000 feet will lead to pockets
of high dispersion during the afternoon. Similar transport winds
but higher mixing heights on Friday would lead to the potential
for widespread high dispersions during the afternoon. Meanwhile,
RH values bottom out in the 30s both Thursday and Friday
afternoons with pockets of RH in the upper 20s possible. On
Friday, there is a low probability of elevated fire weather
concerns northwest of the Flint River in GA into the SE AL
Wiregrass if RH values fall into the mid-20s.
Looking ahead, the prolonged period of dry conditions and
elevated winds may lead to an increasing potential for elevated
fire weather concerns this weekend.
