.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 1006 AM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025

The early morning fog that developed in the east has dissipated.
Under strong insolation today temperatures will top out slightly
warmer than normal. Thanks to the drier air over the region, heat
stress is not expected to be a concern. A dry cold front will
move into the northern zones by this evening. /22/

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1237 AM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025

A cold front associated with a low pressure system over the Great
Lakes will edge southward through tonight. Today`s temps will still
be a little warmer than normal, but the trend to cooler temperatures
will arrive in its wake by midweek as a 1024 mb surface high spreads
into the Mid-South region.

By Tuesday and Wednesday, high temps below 90 will become more
common, and most areas will have morning lows in the 60s. Cooler
spots in north central to northeast Mississippi will dip into the
upper 50s by Wednesday or Thursday morning. Rain chances will be
quite limited through Thursday, and with the increasing dryness, we
will need to pay greater attention for "Limited" fire weather
concerns. Daytime RHs are forecast to fall as low as the 25-30
percent range in some areas by Monday and again Wednesday and
Thursday. Low-end chances for showers and thunderstorms will return
by the weekend as the front washes out and another system moves
across the Central CONUS. /NF/
