.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 132 PM CDT Sat Sep 27 2025
A dry air mass over the Northland today after a cold front
earlier this morning has lead to near critical fire weather
conditions low RH`s and gusty winds. These conditions are
expected to continue into tomorrow, though winds will be
slightly lower.
At the same time, a high pressure will settle over the Ohio
River Valley and keep us sunny and dry for the first half of the
week. The high pressure may slowly be pushed off to the east
for the latter half of the week, with slight (~10%) chances for
precipitation. Predictability of where/when precipitation may
occur is low at this time. In this kind of blocking pattern, it
is common that models try to break it too quickly, so there is a
decent chance this high pressure hangs around into next weekend.
