.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 201 PM EDT Sat Oct 25 2025

Quiet wx and near to slightly below normal temperatures will persist 
through at least Tuesday morning. A prominent ridge drifting east 
through Ontario and western Quebec will block a southern Plains 
upper low well south into the TN and lower OH Valleys by early next 
week. This will keep dry low level easterly flow locked in. Mid-high 
level clouds, and perhaps a few sprinkles, over the area this 
afternoon will also get a push south as a compact shortwave drops 
southeast through the lower Great Lakes later today, resulting in a 
mostly sunny Sunday and Monday. 

Pattern evolution then turns rather chaotic into Wednesday and 
Thursday as three negative height anomalies (incoming upper jet 
digging a low into the central US, a Northeast US upper low, and 
what's left of the TN Valley/Southeast trough) interact into a large 
Eastern US low pressure circulation. A model consensus does suggest 
that the low will initially pass south Tuesday afternoon into 
Wednesday, before pushing off toward the East Coast. This would keep 
the bulk of the steady deformation/fgen rain south and east of the 
local area, though did retain NBM chance PoPs given the large model 
spread with this complex upper level setup. Upper troughing and 
northwest flow then settles in per ensemble guidance Friday into 
next weekend with periodic chances for scattered showers and below 
normal temperatures.
