.DISCUSSION...
(Tonight through next Friday)
Issued at 1126 PM CDT Fri Sep 12 2025
00Z upper air analysis features an Omega Block located from the
Southern Plains to the Upper Midwest, with upper-level troughs
along both the East and West Coast of the United States. Mostly
clear skies are prevailing across the Mid-South late this evening
with temperatures in the middle to upper 70s.
The aforementioned Omega Block is expected to persist across the
Lower Mississippi Valley into next week with temperatures
remaining well above normal for mid-September with highs in the
90s and lows in the 60s to lower 70s. Mainly dry weather is
expected to prevail through the middle of next week with shower
or thunderstorm coverage remaining too minimal to mention at this
time.
Long-range ensembles indicate the upper-level ridge may weaken
towards the end of next week bringing a very slight increase in
rain chances north of I-40. However, any appreciable rain to
alleviate the drought conditions is not expected over the next
week.
