.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 117 PM CDT Tue Sep 30 2025

Surface high pressure remains in control of the regions weather
and the pattern is expected to change very little over the next
week. Upper level ridging over the Great Lakes is forecast to
remain in place through the remainder of today and tonight.
This will allow for what some may call a, Chamber of Commerce
Day.

Skies will be mostly sunny and temperatures will be slightly
above average for this time of year with highs in the lower to
middle 80s. This is from 5 to 10 degrees warmer than average.
Thanks to the warmer temperatures, relative humidities will be
on the dry side from between 35 and 45 percent. The dry airmass
will remain in place with overnight lows in the upper 50s to
around 60 degrees.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 117 PM CDT Tue Sep 30 2025

Expectations for the middle of the week through the coming
weekend are essentially, wash, rinse and repeat each day. Model
and ensemble spreads for temperatures, dew points and
precipitation are nearly the same, within a 3 degree spread each
day. This will allow for great outdoor time, however, despite
the rainfall most received last week, conditions will begin to
dry out again. This may allow for the return of drought
deterioration and intensity for some locations. Along with the
warm temperatures will come relatively dry air. This will
combined to produce RH values in the 30 to 40 percent range
each day.

The next rain chances don`t come until the early to middle part
of next week looking a the longer range synoptic models and
ensembles. This would be tied to how deep and upper level
trough becomes as it moves across the northern plains Tuesday
into Thursday next week, depending on which model you choose.
