Forecast Update

Issued at 942 AM EDT Thu Oct 22 2026

The forecast remains in good shape with only minor adjustments needed. Latest observations this morning depict patchy fog has largely mixed out under sunny skies. Surface high pressure across the region will continue to promote quiet weather conditions. Look for plentiful sunshine to warm temperatures into the low 70s once again while winds remain light out of the northeast. Diurnal mixing should result in min RH values of around 25 to 40 percent during the afternoon.
