KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1216 AM CDT Wed Mar 25 2026

- Warmer temperatures are expected to continue to build for days now with southerly wind flow back into our Four-State area. - The weekend brings the next backdoor cold front with near or right at average high&low temperature readings for late March. - Dry conditions will continue through the weekend as the brief cool down ends faster than it arrives. However, April is close and will bring back chances for showers and thunderstorms.

DISCUSSION

Surface high pressure and it's cooler air is now well to our east and is spilling on the mid Atlantic coast. Our return flow off the Gulf of America is light SSE already well established up to 5-kft with an inversion. There is just enough moisture for a few morning decks in cenLA, but mostly few to scattered stratocu areawide during peak heating, as our surface winds veer to S/SW and become a little gusty to near 20 mph.

Aloft, a deep northerly flow with 100KT+ in the base of the long wave trough, which extends from deep E TX up across the Ohio Valley into eastern Canada. Lots of cirrus will become a fixture now under the building upper ridge over AZ 590dam now with models keeping it near that height for the next couple of days while drifting east. Then flattening out and retrograding a bit with the next Canadian air mass pouring into the U.S. by late week with 1042mb Friday morning. This front will push down the MS River Valley and touch and go the 1038mb core over St. Louis MO Saturday morning. So thats our closest approach, a this quick shot of cool air once give us a normal day temperature wise via the moisture starved backdoor approach method.

Meanwhile, this upper ridge is spun up by the digging long wave over the E Pacific. However, once the ridge collapses late week, the first short wave moves onto the W coast early next week and will bring us the April showers and thunderstorms. Behind the first push the models vary on a core upper low dropping down in the pattern toward CA and will translate into more deep southwest flow aloft for us in the next couple of weeks, promising the rain we need and see in the CPC days 6-10 with near average expectations, and their days 8-14 with above average daily amounts. /24/
