Discussion

Issued at 1143 PM CDT Tue Oct 20 2026

Tonight through Friday night...An upper ridge stretching north along the Mississippi River sharpens as an upper trough deepens over the western Conus, and shortwave energy moves through a mean upper trough along the East Coast. A surface low off the DelMarVa deepens, moving a dryer airmass southwest across the Southeast through the rest of the week, reinforcing an already dry airmass over the region, and continuing to limit any rain chances. High temperatures remain above seasonal norms, especially western portions of the forecast area, closer to the upper ridge. Upper 70s east to lower 80s west expected. The dry airmass an a bit cooler northeasterly low level flow will help with radiational cooling overnight, keeping overnight lows below seasonal norms. Low temperatures ranging from the mid 40s north of Highway 84 to mid 50s along the coast expected.

Saturday through Tuesday, a continuous stream of shortwave energy moving over the Conus flattens the upper ridge, along with shifting it south of the northern Gulf coast. Temperatures drop closer to seasonal norms with the shifting of the upper ridge. The forecast area continues to remain dry through the rest of the forecast.

Taking a look at the Rip Risk on area beaches, a Moderate Risk quickly drops to low through the rest of the week. A weakly organized surface low develops over the Caribbean, tightening the pressure gradient over the northern Gulf, increasing winds and the Rip Risk to High for the coming weekend. /16

Aviation

VFR conditions are expected to prevail over the next 24 hours. Winds will generally be light out of the northeast through the period. /96

Marine

Issued at 1143 PM CDT Tue Oct 20 2026

Light to moderate northeasterly winds will continue through Friday. Moderate to strong northeasterly to easterly winds develop Friday night and linger into the weekend. Wind gusts may approach gale force mainly well offshore Saturday night and Sunday. A Small Craft Advisory will likely become necessary for much of the marine area starting Friday and running until ending at some point on Monday. /16
