DISCUSSION
Issued at 156 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024

Broad upper ridging extends northeastward through the southeast U.S.
and along the eastern seaboard through the end of the week. By Saturday, the upper ridge moves near the Bahamas while weak troughing moves through the southeast U.S. This will be short-lived as the ridge builds back in by Monday and continues through most of next week. On the surface, high pressure near Bermuda ridges westward over Florida and will dominate the weather pattern through the week. There will be some minor north/south movements of the ridge axis during the forecast period as an area of low pressure moves north of the area over the weekend, but overall this ridge of high pressure will be the dominant weather feature through the period. Rain chances will remain on the low side (20-40 percent)
through the period, with the highest chances along the sea breeze during the afternoon and evening hours. Above average temperatures are expected with daytime highs topping out in the mid 80's along the coast to low 90's over the interior through the first of next week. Overnight lows will dip only into the mid 60's to around 70. A further warm up is expected by the middle of next week with mid 90's possible over the interior.
