.DISCUSSION... Issued at 135 AM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
A weak upper wave is dropping SE over NWRN sections of the state early this Thu morning...with some isolated/scattered pockets of rain noted over WRN sections of the state. Have mentioned some low end POPs for this activity over the next several hrs. This upper wave will weaken as it drops generally S/SE this morning...with the potential for precip decreasing further.
For today into the weekend...an upper ridge to the west will expand...eventually drifting east over AR this weekend. This will result in continued warming and more of the persistent dry forecast into the upcoming weekend. Highs will warm well above normal in the 90s for most locations...though some ares may approach the 100 deg mark. Lows will be mainly in the 60s...with some low 70s possible for some sites.
There may be some slight relief going into next week as hgts aloft slowly decrease. However...above normal conditions are expected to continue. Precip chances will also remain low as well.
