Calm and benign weather should accompany above average
temperatures for the whole week.

.SHORT TERM ...
(Today through Monday night)
Issued at 316 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025

The center of the upper level low exits our CWA to the east, and
the last of it`s affects will transpire today. Sky coverage
continues to decrease, and by the day light hours sky conditions
will return to clear and sunny. Northerly winds will continue
throughout the day, but they will be light. High temperatures are
still expected to rise into the 50`s across the region. Morning
lows should still be below freezing for most areas Sunday night
into Monday morning.

As a ridge of high pressure builds overhead, temperatures will
continue to rise on Monday. Highs should increase to the 60`s
range. Surface winds should be light and variable. A beautiful
day for outdoor activities!

.LONG TERM ...
(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 316 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025

The ridge that develops on Monday will not hold it`s position for
long this week. Our next upper trough is forecast to arrive on
Thursday and disrupt the effects of upper level ridging. For the
rest of the extended, the ridge is expected to return. However,
long range models suggest that we`ll get another break in the
upper level flow next week. Temperatures will change in accordance
to the upper level dynamics; but generally speaking, they should
be above average all week. Still no precipitation is expected in
the long term period.
