Issued at 238 AM CDT Sat Sep 27 2025
Early this morning, water vapor satellite imagery shows two distinct
deep layer troughs located over southern California and the
southeastern CONUS. In between these two features, a ridge is
attempting to build across the southern and central plains. This
mid/upper ridging (albeit somewhat weak) will serve to promote
seasonably warm temperatures over the next few days.
The upper air pattern will remain somewhat stagnant thanks in part
to the trough that will remain stationary over the southeastern
CONUS. Influence from some tropical antics may serve to reinforce
this deep layer trough, and weak ridging may stick around through
the end of next week. While this won`t do much to influence
temperatures (beyond them being a couple degrees above average)
it will have a impact on the region`s precipitation forecast.
With the lack of mid/upper troughs expected to progress across
the central plains over the next week or so, it appears as
though rain chances will be almost non-existent. Even with a
weak cold front passing through the area Sunday night into
Monday, the lack of moisture will prevent any chances for
showers and storms.
