.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 219 PM CDT Sat Sep 27 2025
Early this afternoon, a weak surface boundary was draped across the
forecast area in between high pressure to our north and high
pressure to our southeast. Light surface winds will shift from the
south-southwest to the north behind the boundary as it slowly nudges
south before washing out tonight near I-70. Patchy fog may develop
tonight/early tomorrow, especially in river valleys and near other
water sources, as temps drop below the crossover temp and surface
conditions near saturation south of the dissipating boundary.
Lows tonight should range from the mid to upper 50s.
The surface ridge expands over the Great Lakes and Northeast
tomorrow, allowing for southerly surface flow as a mid-level
ridge builds over the central US. With that, temps will be a few
degrees warmer Sunday afternoon as highs reach the mid and
upper 80s -- a good ten degrees above average for late
September. The pattern doesn`t change much until a shortwave
trough axis moves out over the High Plains on Tuesday.
Additional cloud cover with the system will allow for slightly
cooler temperatures, although still above average. Another mid-
level ridge builds in after that, keeping conditions dry and
warm through the upcoming workweek.
