.SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 245 PM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
An area of surface high pressure and an upper level shortwave
ridge are over the area this afternoon allowing another warm day
with light winds. Highs in the middle to upper 80s are
occurring this afternoon and will occur again on Thursday which
are around 5 to 15 degrees above normal. Lows will also remain
mild with readings in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
Thursday afternoon a weak front will move northwest into
portions of the eastern Missouri Ozarks. Instability will
increase some with the heating of the day, but a drier air mass
will be in place in the lower and middle levels of the
atmosphere. A few isolated showers and a few rumbles of thunder
will be possible (10% or less chances) southeast of a
Gainesville to Salem, MO line, but overall coverage will be very
limited as most locations are expected to remain dry.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 245 PM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
An upper level ridge will build back over the area Friday into
this weekend with above normal and dry conditions continuing.
An upper level shortwave trough will move across the plains this
weekend. Southerly winds will increase with gusts up to around
20 mph at times on Saturday and Sunday. Highs will continue to
warm into the middle 80s through weekend with afternoon
humidity values in the 30 to 40% range. There could be a limited
fire weather risk this weekend as the gusty southerly winds
occur.
The upper level shortwave trough will lift to the northeast
early next week and a front will push south toward the area.
With the better upper level support to the north the front will
likely remain north of the area on Monday keeping much of the
area dry. The front could sag into the area on Tuesday with some
shower and thunderstorm chances into the area. The coverage
could decrease from north to south as the front moves into the
area as the better upper level lift remains north and a drier
air mass will be in place. A few showers may linger into
Wednesday but coverage should be limited.
