DISCUSSION

Issued at 135 AM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026

An upper level ridge is slowly progressing into the Quad State region for the weekend as a very large area of surface high pressure remains centered near New England. Patchy morning fog is possible, mainly near rivers and lakes.

Low pressure tracks northeastward from the Front Range to the Northern Great Lakes early next week, but its cold front and associated precipitation are expected to stay well to the north of the Quad State as high pressure shifts towards the Mid- Atlantic. A resurgence of the ridge, and continued stagnation of the surface high, keeps rain out of the forecast through the workweek. Throughout the weekend and the week ahead, highs are forecast in the mid 70s to near 80 and lows generally in the mid-40s to near 50.

At the end of the week, troughing develops in the west and the ridge shifts just enough to potentially bring rain to end the month next weekend, more of a trick rather than a treat.
