.KEY MESSAGES...
- Temperatures within a few degrees of mid September averages.
- Very low rain chances may return.
&&
.SHORT TERM (THROUGH FRIDAY)... The Subtropical Ridge builds over our area the rest of this week. Subsidence under the Ridge and a dry airmass aloft with PWs below mid September averages keep rain chances out of the forecast for most areas. However, a subtle increase in lower level moisture is forecast in the model/ensemble suite. This may result in a few showers near the Coastal Plains on Thursday and the Winter Garden region on Friday corresponding to a subtle increase in moisture over those areas. High temperatures remain steady, though warmer than the last few days, while low temperatures warm a little more each night due to the increased moisture.
&&
.LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)... The Subtropical Ridge axis is nearly overhead this weekend into early next week. Strengthened subsidence and a subtle drying of the airmass keep rain out of the forecast most areas. However, cannot rule out a shower or two near the Coastal Plains and over the Winter Garden areas where deeper moisture is forecast. The passage of a series of mid level troughs well northwest of our area finally takes its toll on the Ridge by the middle of next week. Subsidence weakens while moisture increases leading to increased, though slight, chances of showers and thunderstorms near the Coastal Plains and over the Winter Garden regions on Tuesday. Steady daily temperatures trends remain slightly above mid September averages.
&&
.AVIATION (12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)... VFR flying conditions are expected through the period with light winds and seasonable temperatures. Winds will remain light and variable at less than 5 kts through the night time hours followed by 5-10 kts during the daytime hours, generally out of the east-southeast. Clear skies are expected with good flying conditions.
