.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 311 PM CDT Sun Sep 14 2025
Another upper trough moves into the region Tuesday into Wednesday. A
cold front will push into the area Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Ahead of this front, a modestly sheared and increasingly unstable
environment will be in place across much of the area. The area may
remain capped, and limit storm development during the afternoon.
Chances increase Tuesday night and the upper trough moves in, though
storms should become elevated. Some threat for strong to severe
storms near and ahead of the front Tuesday afternoon and evening,
with a threat for damaging wind gusts and locally heavy rainfall
with the strongest storms. Some hail threat may also develop. Likely
POPS for Tuesday night.
The upper trough will remain over the area Wednesday with likely
chances for showers and cooler, with highs in the upper 60s to lower
70s. The upper trough is likely to persist across the region
Thursday and Friday, before lifting to the northeast across Iowa and
Minnesota into the western Great Lakes Saturday and Sunday. This
will likely lead to highs in the 70s and at least low chances for
showers.
