KEY MESSAGES
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026
- Very limited rain chances across the area today through Monday. - Slightly cooler and less humid air will fill into the area tonight through early next week.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026 A northwest flow aloft continues over the region this afternoon between low pressure off the mid-Atlantic and high pressure over the deep south. At the surface, low pressure continues to develop off the northeast coast with a frontal boundary well south of the local area and high pressure building over the southeast. Similar to yesterday, some lower clouds have lingered through the morning, but these have mostly broken up/lifted. For the rest of the day and through the weekend, drier and relatively cooler air will filter in, with low rain chances and more comfortable conditions.
For Monday through the first half of the week, surface high pressure will build back over the western Atlantic, allowing low-level flow to become more southeasterly. This will increase moisture and therefore rain chances and also cause temperatures to moderate back to near normal.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS) Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026 Patchy lower MVFR cigs linger this afternoon but are scattering out and all sites should be VFR by 19Z or so. VFR is then expected through the rest of the period.
MARINE
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026 Elevated winds continue through this afternoon before slowly starting to diminish. Northeast to east winds will remain over the waters through the weekend, with no further headlines expected, and rain chances will also be lower with drier air in place.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 220 PM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026 Rain chances remain low for the next several days as drier and relatively cooler air moves into the region. Relative humidity values will be lower, but widespread critically low humidity is not expected.
