.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 117 PM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

An omega-block`ish upper level pattern remains in place overhead
and looks to stick around for several more days. An amorphous
surface high pressure ridge centered to the northeast will wax
and wane a bit with the predominant effect of keeping surface
moisture/humidity at bay with light westerlies today becoming a
little more northwesterly - but still light - through the
weekend. Transient high clouds look to be about the only sky
factor through the weekend and into early next week.

Mid and upper level ridging at the center of the omega-block
pattern moves more overhead into early next week which should
lead to a little bit warmer afternoon temperatures and a little
bit of Pacific drawn mid-level moisture may dot the skies with a
few more clouds as temperatures warm up slightly. Pretty high
confidence in deterministic and ensemble guidance that the dry
pattern holds through day 7. This mornings 12z GFS deterministic
has a pair of closed lows breaking through and giving us a
chance at some deeper moisture return and precip by next
weekend, but the ECMWF is not as bullish on this system.
