.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 202 AM CDT Sat Jul 19 2025

Upper level analysis and water vapor imagery show an expanding
area of upper level high pressure across the southern U.S. with
the main upper flow across the northern CONUS. Surface front has
shifted northward from last nights position and has become
stationary from northwest MO into east central MO and north of
the CWA. A few showers were located just to our west near
Chanute and also just north of our CWA near Sedalia. The main
MCS was located over northeast Nebraska and another in southern
Minnesota diving southeast into Iowa. Surface temperatures
remain warm in the mid 70s to low 80s as of 1 am.

Today/tonight: While we can`t rule out some isolated convection
and mainly on the edges of the CWA, we should mainly be dealing
with the heat and humidity today (and into at least the middle
of next week). The upper level ridge will begin to expand
slightly northward today and we should see afternoon
temperatures rise into the mid 90s for most locations. Afternoon
and early evening heat index values will be in the upper 90s to
around 109 degrees with the highest HI values in the eastern
Ozarks. Nighttime lows are only going to dip into the low to mid
70s across the area. An excessive heat warning was issued
yesterday for today through Wednesday.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 202 AM CDT Sat Jul 19 2025

The heat and humidity will linger into at least the middle of
next week and likely through the end of next week. Daily high
temperatures will be in the mid 90s and heat index values in the
100 to 110 degree range with nighttime lows generally in the low
to mid 70s. The consecutive days of heat and humidity will put
added stress on the body with NWS HeatRisk indices showing a
moderate to major level of heat stress through the period across
the area. We currently have an excessive heat warning through
Wednesday which may need to eventually be expanded further in
time if current model trends continue.

Precipitation chances look pretty minimal over the area through
the period with the upper ridge building over the region.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 617 AM CDT Sat Jul 19 2025

For the 12z TAFS, upper level high pressure will start to build
into the area today. Generally expecting VFR conditions through
the period. Some southwesterly wind gusts up to 25 kts will be
possible from late morning through the afternoon, before
diminishing again after 00-01z.
