.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1131 AM CDT Sat Apr 11 2026

An upper ridge builds into the region today then becomes oriented
across the eastern Gulf to midway up along the East Coast on
Sunday. The upper ridge remains close to this position through
Wednesday then is deflected partially off into the western
Atlantic on Thursday by an upper trof progressing across the
eastern states. The upper ridge returns back close to its original
position Friday into Saturday while a large upper trof advances
into/across the central states. A surface ridge oriented over the
southeastern states allows for a light southeasterly to southerly
surface flow to become established over the forecast area which
becomes predominately southerly for Wednesday through Saturday.
Depending on how quickly the large upper trof progresses
into/across the central states late in the period, it`s possible
that an associated surface low could bring a weak frontal boundary
into the forecast area as early as Saturday night. We will
monitor this upcoming system to see if it brings some respite from
the lack of rain, but otherwise subsidence effects from the upper
ridge look to maintain dry conditions for the forecast area.

Have gone with a low risk of rip currents tonight, then a moderate
risk follows for Sunday through Tuesday. Highs will be mostly in
the lower to mid 80s through Thursday, then trend to mostly the
mid to upper 80s for Friday and Saturday. Lows tonight range from
the mid 50s well inland to around 60 at the coast then gradually
trend to the lower to mid 60s by Saturday night. /29
