.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 158 AM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
The warming trend continues today as the upper trough continues
to drift slowly east into the area. Look for highs in the low
to mid 90s today (may approach records at SGF and UNO) with
nearly calm winds and mostly sunny skies.
For tonight, lows in the 60s are expected.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 158 AM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
The long term pattern is really simple. The upper ridge to the
west will continue to push east and then remain over the area
into the middle of next week. This means persistent heat and
mostly dry conditions. Look for forecast temperatures to be
within a few degrees of record highs each day through the long
term period. See the climate section for a list of sites that
are forecast to be within 5 degrees of record highs.
Ensemble data shows little spread in temperatures, making for
good confidence in the temperature forecast into next week.
Previously, about 25% of ensembles showed a mid-level low or
trough extending from the Great Lakes into our area, but that
has decreased to around 12% in latest runs. Thus, confidence in
the warm and dry pattern persisting has increased.
Impacts of the heat will be mitigated by limited moisture,
keeping heat index values near the actual temperatures, along
with relatively cool overnight lows in the 60s. Still, sensitive
and/or exposed user groups will need to plan accordingly.
Looking ahead toward the day 8-14 (Sep 18-24) time frame, CPC
favors above normal temperatures (58% above normal, 33% near
normal probabilities) which is in line with ensemble data (GEFS,
ENS, and GEPS) all showing 7 day temperature anomalies around
+6 F. As far as precipitation goes, the CPC outlook is
essentially equal chances for above normal (36%), near normal
(33%), and below normal (31%). Ensemble data favors slightly
negative precipitation anomalies.
