.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1206 AM CDT Sun Sep 13 2026

A weakening upper trof over the southeastern states ejects off to
the north on Sunday followed by an upper ridge building over the
region through Monday. A weak surface trof extends into the
forecast area on Sunday and looks to aid in isolated to scattered
convective development mainly during the afternoon. The upper
ridge remains over the region through Wednesday with a surface
ridge over the northeastern states meanwhile building into the
southeastern states. Subsidence associated with the upper ridge
will suppress convective development while the building surface
ridge sets up an easterly flow and ushers progressively drier air
into the forecast area beginning Monday and becoming more
pronounced Wednesday into Wednesday night.

An interesting pattern sets up later in the period as an upper
low/trof over the far western Atlantic, with an associated
inverted surface trof, is anticipated to move to over or near the
Florida peninsula on Friday. Am anticipating dry conditions to
continue over the area on Thursday, then have gone with mainly
slight chance pops returning to the southern portion of the area
on Friday. Highs on Sunday will be in the lower to mid 90s then
trend to the mid to upper 90s for Monday and Tuesday. Heat index
values on Sunday through Tuesday will be 100-106 with a few spots
reaching 107. Highs on Wednesday through Friday will be mainly
90-95. Heat index values of 95-103 on Wednesday trend to the mid
90s for Thursday and Friday. A low risk of rip currents is
anticipated from Sunday through Tuesday then increases to a high
risk for Wednesday and Thursday. /29
