.DISCUSSION... Issued at 202 PM CDT Sat Sep 6 2025
Surface high pressure is filling in behind the cold front that is now well south and east of the region. Latest visible satellite imagery shows mostly clear skies across the area as temperatures climb into the mid 70s. Surface high pressure continues to build into area from the northwest today and Sunday beginning a period of dry weather that is set to last well into next week. High temperatures Sunday into Monday will only rise into the upper 70s to near 80 degrees beneath continued northwest flow aloft.
Southerly return flow develops next week allowing temperatures to warm back into the low to mid 80s Tuesday, followed by upper 80s to lower 90s by the end of this coming week. Will still need to keep an eye on elevated fire weather conditions, especially for the latter half of the week given the prolonged dry conditions, and low humidity. Given the increased deep layer ridging, no precipitation is expected throughout the next 7 days.
