.DISCUSSION... Issued at 301 AM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
A mid/upper ridge is progged to build over the Rockies and High Plains today as the trough responsible for our recent wet weather continues to translate eastward away from the area.
This mid/upper ridge is progged to linger over the area as a blocking pattern becomes established. This is expected to result in an extended period of tranquil weather conditions with light winds and dry weather conditions. Temperatures through the period will remain mild for late Sep with highs mostly in the 80s and lows in the 50s/around 60 through the forecast period.
