- Dry and hot conditions will persist with only very isolated
   showers and thunderstorms possible today and tomorrow
   afternoon. Otherwise, a pattern shift is possible next week
   that could give some relief.

.DISCUSSION...
Hot temperatures and dry conditions will persist as the upper low
over the coastal Carolinas brings northerly flow to much of the
southeast. A slight wrinkle to that is the southernly surface flow
that may begin to re-establish itself by tomorrow afternoon. If
so, that will help with some limited convergence and a few more
isolated showers and thunderstorms. Will likely not amount to
much, however, as the overall moisture levels will remain low.
This pattern will continue through the weekend.
Next week is starting to look better in terms of rainfall as a
wholesale pattern change is still being featured by early next
week. We will provide some more updates and details as time
approaches, but the outlooks are showing a 40% chance of above
normal rainfall for much of next week.

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 600 AM CDT TUE SEP 16 2025
Mainly VFR conditions will persist through the period, although it
should be noted that the chance for an isolated thunderstorm at
the very end of the period has slightly increased.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Not a lot of change to the current forecast. Generally speaking,
the afternoon RH values will reside in the 30s with light winds.
There has been a slight increase in the potential for isolated
showers tomorrow afternoon as southerly return flow starts to get
re-established. However, any chances for widespread meaningful
rainfall will not be likely until a pattern shift next week.
