DISCUSSION

Issued at 222 PM EDT Sun Mar 22 2026 Surface high pressure over the state this afternoon will generally remain in place through tomorrow before shifting south some on Tuesday as a frontal boundary moves south over the region. This will keep warming and dry conditions across the local area through the start of the work week before rain chances come back into the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday with the front. Best chances are for northern and interior locations, though most places that do see rainfall will likely not even get a quarter of an inch. We dry out again for the end of the week as high pressure settles back in, then another boundary moves through this weekend, with another chance for showers on Sunday.

MARINE

Issued at 222 PM EDT Sun Mar 22 2026 High pressure will remain over the region through Monday, with light winds and seas continuing over the waters. A frontal boundary will then move through on Tuesday, with winds turning northeast behind it for mid-week. No headlines are expected.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 222 PM EDT Sun Mar 22 2026 Relatively drier air remains over the region for the next couple of days, with critically low relative humidity values expected for parts of the interior each afternoon. Winds will remain light, however, so no Red Flag conditions are anticipated. Some patchy fog is expected for the next few mornings.
