.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 139 AM EDT Fri Oct 23 2026

Patchy early morning fog will be possible again today, but it should 
be mainly near rivers and lakes. 

We remain in a persistent pattern of a large upper ridge centered to 
our west and surface high pressure extending into our area from the 
north and northeast.  This will continue to provide dry weather 
through the weekend and well into next week.  Models generally show 
at least some suppression of the upper ridge in the mid week time 
frame with short wave energy moving through the Great Lakes region, 
but precipitation currently looks likely to remain well to our north 
with dry weather continuing for our area through next Thursday.  

For the entire period we can expect cool nights and pleasant 
afternoons with high temperatures each day not far off of seasonal 
normals. We will also see low relative humidity values during the 
afternoon hours, but light winds will help to mitigate fire weather 
concerns.
