SHORT AND LONG TERM
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 435 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024

Upper level ridging over the South Central US will gradually slide east through the period which will result a rather benign pattern through early next week. In the lower levels, a surface high pressure will linger over the portions of Southeast with a light northeasterly to easterly flow prevailing through the weekend. Deep layer moisture will be paltry during this time with PWATs about 1.5 inches or less. This drier air along with the lack of forcing will result in warm and dry conditions through early next week. High temperatures will rise into the upper 80s and lower 90s through the weekend with upper 80s expected by early next week. Overnight lows range from the lower to middle 60s well inland with lower 70s at the beaches. /14
