.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 226 AM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
Northwest flow will remain overhead through today and tonight, as the upper ridge west of the area continues to build and very slowly push east. Surface high pressure will be north of the area at the start of the day, slowly moving east-southeast over the Great Lakes Region. Thus, light easterly surface winds will remain over the area through the day, shifting southeasterly through tonight. Overall, we are geared to have another beautiful day. Temperatures will be similar to what we saw yesterday, with most in the low-mid 80s and mostly clear skies. Low humidity and light winds will ensure a pleasant day ahead of us, with temperatures cooling tonight into the mid 50s.

Overall, we are seeing chances for hitting 90 being
