.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 324 PM CDT Fri Sep 5 2025

A cold front and upper level disturbance will lead to
increasing convective coverage and intensity, mainly along and
south of I-44 late this evening into early tonight. Instability
will be weak, thus lightning and moderate rainfall will be the
greatest hazards with and stronger cells.

Precip amounts will generally be light at less than 0.20", but
some locations south of I-44 could see isolated amounts up to a
half inch.

Behind the front, rain will clear out tonight, leaving the area
dry by sunrise. Look for lows in the 50s.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 324 PM CDT Fri Sep 5 2025

The rest of the forecast period will be dry. The pattern this
weekend will feature an upper ridge over the western CONUS and a
trough over the central. Through next week, that pattern slowly
shifts east, which will result in a warming trend. By Wednesday,
highs are forecast to be in the low to mid 90s, but with low
humidity limiting heat impacts. Look for daily minRH values of
30-40% with some locations seeing 20-30%.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 642 PM CDT Fri Sep 5 2025

Showers and isolated storms are expected to continue to impact
the region through the overnight hours into Saturday morning.
The best potential will be mainly near and south of KJLN and
KSGF, with KBBG seeing the greatest potential impacts. Main
concerns will be light to briefly moderate rain at KSGF and
KJLN, along with MVFR ceilings. KBBG should see moderate to
briefly heavy rain and IFR ceilings late this evening into
tonight. Expect improvement at all sites late tonight into
Saturday morning (latest at KBBG).
