.DISCUSSION... Issued at 213 AM CDT Sat Sep 27 2025
Upper level trof will continue to move east this weekend and behind it upper level ridging builds in from the Plains. Sfc high pressure will continue to build through the weekend. This will keep things dry for the weekend with highs about 4-8 degrees above normal (into the mid to upper 80s). Some fog is possible this morning primarily along the Mississippi River. Some areas may see patchy dense fog, will monitor for the need of an SPS or Dense Fog Advisory.
Starting the week off with ridging aloft and continued troughing to the east. High pressure continues at the sfc and temps remain above normal for the early week. Mid week on is more uncertain though and will depend on what happens with the tropical disturbance that will be off the Carolina coast by then. By Tuesday that disturbance off the South Carolina coast may be upgraded to Tropical Storm Imelda. The existing troughing over the East Coast may pull some of Imelda`s moisture inland, but this will be a battle with Humberto (in the Atlantic, east of Imelda) which is trying to pull Imelda back out to sea. Right now models keep us dry, but we could see an increase in cloud cover and humidity mid to late week along with temperatures closer to normal should this tropical moisture get pulled this far inland.
