.DISCUSSION... Issued at 1157 PM CDT Tue Sep 9 2025
Today and tonight...An upper short wave combined with some decent moisture rapping around the surface high may kick off a few showers and possible a thunderstorm, mainly along and south of I-20 this afternoon. This activity will quickly diminish after sunset this evening. High temperatures will be a few degrees hotter today, mostly in the low 90s. Surface high pressure will strengthen over the area tonight, with clear skies and lows mainly in the mid 60s./15/
Thursday through Monday night: The omega block with ridging over the central CONUS will last through Monday even as the ridge axis shift to become centered nearly over the Mississippi river. The surface ridging from the northeast will continue over our region as well. This will allow for a warming trend through the period highs topping out in the mid to upper 90s by Monday. The surface ridge will continue to help limit moisture return and although it will be hot, the lower relative humidity will mitigate and heat stress concerns as peak heat index values look to remain below 105F. the latest Drought Monitor is showing abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions across our northern zones. Without any rainfall in the forecast along with the hot temperatures, conditions are expected to worsen. /22/
