.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 245 AM EDT Wed Oct 15 2025

 - A warm and dry forecast this week maintains/worsens drought
   conditions while re-introducing elevated fire concerns. Use
   caution in any outdoor burning.

 - Our next frontal system looks to approach the region on Sunday,
   bringing higher rainfall chances. Forecast rainfall is not
   likely to help drought conditions abate.

.SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM...
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 245 AM EDT Wed Oct 15 2025

Persistence remains the name of the game through Saturday, dry and
pleasant conditions prevail with high pressure overhead.

By the end of the week surface high pressure moves just offshore
from the southeast US. This will temporarily reestablish southerly
flow over the weekend across the region, leading to some moisture
return. Dew points will climb into the 60s ahead of our next frontal
system on Sunday. When compared to yesterday`s forecast, model
uncertainty has decreased slightly. Global models now have a
relatively deep trough moving across the northern Gulf states,
however the uncertainty now lies in how well the front holds
together as it approaches the southeast. Forcing for ascent appears
to either be weakening or fragmenting as the front approaches,
potentially leading to a decrease in shower/storm coverage as the
front enters the region. Stay tuned as the models continue to hone
in on our next frontal system over the coming days.

Expect daytime highs generally in the 80s with overnight lows
generally in the mid 50s to low 60s.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 245 AM EDT Wed Oct 15 2025

Mostly SKC will make for continued VFR thru the period. The only
exception is the potential for brief MVFR vsbys via shallow ground
fog or mist invof VLD around sunrise. A tempo group for 4SM was
introduced in the 12-14Z time frame to acct. Light NE to near
easterly winds prevail, approaching 10 kts during the aftn. Any
seabreeze should therefore be pinned close to the coast.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 245 AM EDT Wed Oct 15 2025

Gentle to moderate northeasterly winds induced by building surface
high pressure will make for favorable boating conditions through
Thursday. The afternoon sea breeze could bring directional changes
to the winds in the afternoon, but winds will generally remain under
15 knots. An increase in easterly flow is likely by Friday which
could lead to cautionary conditions heading into the weekend.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 245 AM EDT Wed Oct 15 2025

Dry and warm conditions prevail the next few days under persistent
northeast to easterly winds. Minimum relative humidities are
forecast to be in the 30s & 40s for much of the Tri-State area each
afternoon. Elevated fire concerns appear likely as the week
progresses thanks to prolonged warm & dry conditions under surface
high pressure. However, critical fire weather conditions are not
forecast to develop with relative humidities remaining above
criteria and winds not being high enough. Our next chance of rain
will be late this weekend as a front moves through but rainfall
amounts currently do not appear significant enough to ease current
drought conditions in place.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 245 AM EDT Wed Oct 15 2025

Little to no rainfall is anticipated through Saturday. Drought
conditions will therefore persist and/or worsen across much of the
Tri-State area. Visit www.weather.gov/tae/LocalDrought for more
information.
