.KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 130 PM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
- Above normal temperatures will persist for the foreseeable future with an upper-level ridge dominating our region.
- Rain chances will remain nil through this same period given the strength of the ridge and the lack of any forcing.
- Drought and fire weather concerns may begin to increase with a more prolonged period of heat and dry conditions.

Persistence, status quo, we`re running out of ways to describe this monotonous forecast. Ok, that`s one more way. In short, the late summer doldrums continue onward with little hope for any rain through the next 7 days. Dominant ridging at the sfc and aloft will maintain an upward trajectory of temperatures with afternoon highs generally ranging from the mid to upper 90s on Friday. Lows tonight will range from the upper 60s to mid 70s with some patchy fog possible once again in the more outlying and heavily sheltered locations.
With the persistent heat combined with the lack of rainfall, soil moisture will continue to be depleted throughout this period of dryness. Although fire weather conditions aren`t particularly concerning just yet, this could become more problematic if heat relief doesn`t manifest by later on this month. Fortunately, we are approaching the end of astronomical summer and the daylight hours are getting shorter so eventually a pattern shift will be inevitable. Until then, keep the sprinklers going and remember to maintain heat safety awareness if you are spending time outdoors.
Lastly, we remember all of our fellow Americans who we tragically lost on this solemn day 24 years ago.

.AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1009 PM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
Cu field has pretty much dissipated for the night except south of the I-20 Corridor. More will return beginning in the 15z-16z hour in the morning with that cu field growing throughout the day. Before we get there, left the possibility of some VSBY restrictions at both the MLU and ELD terminals just prior to sunrise in the morning. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail through this 24hr TAF period. Look for mostly light and variable winds near or under 6kts through the period.
