.LONG TERM... (Thursday night through next Tuesday) Issued at 1145 AM CDT WED SEP 10 2025
High pressure will build into the region by the end of the week and into the weekend as the main upper level trough shifts eastward. This will lead to a continued pattern of slightly warmer than normal conditions, though low humidity will keep heat indices very close to the actual temperatures.
The overall synoptic pattern doesn`t change much through early next week, so we`ll see continued dry weather with little to no chance for rain through Tuesday.

.AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 641 PM CDT WED SEP 10 2025
VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period, with light northerly prevailing winds becoming calm or variable overnight. Northerly winds will prevail once again during the day on Thursday.

.FIRE WEATHER...
The dry and hot weather pattern will continue through our 7 day forecast period. Min RHs will drop into the 30% range for most of the area by this afternoon and will persist through the end of the week. The center of the high pressure will build overhead over the weekend, leading to slightly higher daytime highs. This will result in MinRHs dropping into the 25-30% range for many locations on Saturday. Although values are currently forecast to remain above critical thresholds, drying soils will likely lead to expanding drought conditions. Winds should remain generally light with occasional gusts due to daytime mixing.
