.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.
