.DISCUSSION...
(This afternoon through next Sunday)
Issued at 1202 PM CDT Mon Sep 8 2025
A pleasant day is underway as upper level troughing and surface high
pressure allow mostly clear skies and pleasant temperatures. High
temperatures today are anticipated to remain in the 80s with little
humidity.
An Omega Blocking pattern has been building over the western and
central US and will push east towards the Mid-South. Ridging will
begin to build in tomorrow and temperatures will warm into the upper
80s and lower 90s. As the ridge builds and centers over the
region, temperatures will continue be on the rise and reach the
mid to upper 90s by Friday. Dewpoints will generally remain in the
60s keeping heat indices at bay.
The current surface high and anticipated ridging pattern to kick off
will keep rain chances out of the forecast for the forecast period.
Warming temperatures and on-going drought conditions will raise a
concern for wildfire danger. The Climate Prediction Center
highlights the region for at least the next 14 days leaning below
(40-60%) normal precipitation. With this outlook, expect burn bans,
fire weather notifications, and persisting or worsening drought
conditions across the region.

MinRH values will hover above 25% through midweek. Humidity will
take a dive again by Thursday and near 20%. Fuels are very dry,
but winds should remain on the lighter side hindering wildfire
spread. Any vegetation that does ignite, will have plenty of dry
fuels to work with.
