DISCUSSION
Issued at 239 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Overall quiet weather pattern expected over the upcoming week. High pressure continues to build into the region behind the frontal boundary that swept through the area yesterday. Temperatures today will remain at or just below average for this time of year, but going forward through the rest of the week, a substantial warmup is expected. As the ridge shifts off to the east and the surface high settles to our east, easterly to southeasterly flow will foster those warming temperatures. Highs tomorrow will reach the lower to middle 80s across the CWA, but by Thursday, afternoon highs will top out in the upper 80s for everyone, with a couple of 90s sprinkled in. Through the end of the forecast period into early next week, upper 80s to lower 90s are expected areawide. Very low relative humidity values will persist during this time period leading to feels like temperatures near the actual highs for the day. Lower dewpoints will also allow overnight temperatures to fall into the lower to middle 60s each night. The stout high pressure will also keep precipitation chances at bay along with minimal cloud cover.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 239 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024
