.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 221 PM CDT Sun Sep 14 2025
Upper-level ridging will linger across the Quad State area through
at least the middle of the week as a trough digs in across the
northern and central Plains. This will keep temperatures well above
normal through much of that time period. In fact, it looks like low
to mid 90s will be the rule through Wednesday and possibly into
Thursday. That is pushing close to 10 degrees above normal. For
comparison, normal highs across the area are in the low to mid 80s
for this time of year. PWATs/moisture is near normal with dewpoints
in the 60s, so heat index values are expected to be fairly close to
the actual temperature. Not that it helps much as it is still HOT!!
A few showers and storms are possible (15-20% chance) this afternoon
and again Monday afternoon. The greatest focus will likely be over
SEMO, far southern IL and far western KY. Otherwise, the next best
chance for showers and storms will arrive Friday into Saturday as
the aforementioned trough begins to dig farther southeast into the
Quad State area. At the same time, a couple frontal boundaries are
expected to approach or move through the area, bringing a better
chance of showers and storms. Shear and instability doesn`t look
overly impressive at this time, but it is worth keeping an eye on
over the next few days. Behind, the frontal boundaries and with the
trough overhead Friday into Saturday, temperatures are expected to
pull back to near normal or right around the mid 80s.

some fog development is possible overnight at the CGI and PAH

Otherwise, light winds are expected through this issuance.
