.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 303 PM EDT Fri Jun 27 2025
High pressure ridging that has dominated our hot weather this past
week is weakening and getting pushed east by troughing coming over
the Midwest. A surface front will approach but wash out north of the
area this weekend. That will bring more widespread coverage of
rainfall Saturday. Again, not talking about all day rainfall, but it
will be active and the number of storms we expect should keep
temperatures from climbing as much as this week. That same coverage
should help limit severe potential as well, but with above-normal
precipitable waters we will have to watch for localized flooding.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 303 PM EDT Fri Jun 27 2025
Rain chances stay up Sunday as we don't get a true frontal passage
Saturday. The moist airmass will remain in place Sat. night through
at least Monday night. NBM even goes with categorical pops (80-100
percent) for Monday. Again, given the moist airmass in place, we
will have to watch for areas that receive multiple storms. Current
WPC outlook shows a marginal risk for flooding, but I wouldn't be
surprised to see an upgrade to slight risk there are we narrow down
the forecast over the weekend.
Tuesday we should get a frontal passage to give us a couple of dry
days for midweek. Another trough looks to pass by Thu/Fri time, but
it won't have as much moisture to work with, so NBM has slight
chance pops for now on Friday. Temperatures should stay more
seasonable for highs this period, though lows early in the week
will be above normal with the moisture in the region.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 122 PM EDT Fri Jun 27 2025
Current line of storms active from KBWG to west or KLEX/KRGA. Some
anvil debris moving towards KSDF may delay onset there a few hours.
Otherwise loss of daytime heating should quiet things down this
evening. Winds generally will be light or a little from the south
overnight. Additional showers/storms should fire up late morning
early afternoon Saturday. Otherwise expect VFR conditions.
