DISCUSSION
Issued at 232 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025
An upper trof over the Plains amplifies while progressing into the eastern states through Thursday, and in the process absorbs the remnants of a shortwave trof over the southeast states. An associated surface low passes well north of the region and brings a weak surface trof into the forecast area on Thursday which drifts to near the coast Thursday night, then returns inland on Friday. The eastern states upper trof meanwhile moves off into the western Atlantic on Friday along with an upper ridge building from the central states into the region. Abundant deep layer moisture will be in place over the area through Friday, although subsidence effects associated with the upper ridge will begin to become apparent over interior areas by Friday. Have gone with likely pops for today and Thursday, then for Friday will have likely pops for the southern portion of the area with chance pops further inland. Will continue to monitor for strong storm development each day with gusty winds and small hail as the main threats. The upper ridge steadily builds over the eastern states through the weekend and persists into early next week, and the position of the upper ridge allows for a steady series of shortwaves to progress across the forecast area mainly from Sunday onward as an easterly flow sets up aloft. Some vestiges of the surface trof appear to linger over the forecast area on Saturday, after which a surface ridge sets up over the southeastern states and promotes a predominately easterly flow with a sea breeze developing each day. Have gone with chance to likely pops each day, with the higher pops over the southern portion of the area.
Highs today will be around 90, then trend gradually higher to the lower to mid 90s by Saturday with similar values following into Tuesday. Heat index values of 96-103 today trend higher to 100-107 for Friday through at least Tuesday and will need to monitor for possible localized Heat Advisory concerns. A moderate risk of rip currents is in effect for today through Thursday, after which a low risk is expected for Friday through Sunday. /29
