.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 232 AM CDT Tue Sep 30 2025
No real changes to the pattern going forward, ridging still
dominates at the sfc and aloft through the week and weekend.
Temperatures remain above normal, in the mid to upper 80s, through
late week then come down slightly to low to mid 80s through the
weekend and into the start of next week. Winds remain out of the
northeast. Patchy fog continues to be possible in the mornings along
the river in Cape Girardeau.
Around the weekend the ridge begins to break down slightly thanks to
a subtle shortwave over the northern Gulf coast. With the sfc high
being centered over the Mid Atlantic, winds will turn southerly by
Friday. The ridge further breaks down and shifts east and puts us
into weak southwest flow aloft by Monday with a broad trof aloft
over south central Canada. With moisture returning to the area, we
could possibly see our first weak PoPs return to the forecast on
Tuesday.

Strong high pressure at the surface and aloft dominates the
flight weather this package. Other than the isolated spot fog
that offers temporary restrictions potential, it will be a dry
northeasterly fetch throughout the column reinforcing the
continued tranquil weather conditions; FEW-SCT (mainly diurnal)
bases in the 6-8K FT AGL range will again be possible.
