.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 209 PM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

Persistent H5 troughing over the eastern CONUS will briefly
transition to a more active and milder W-NW zonal pattern. This
will bring a moderation in temperatures back to near normal
values on Tuesday into Wednesday. Two weak disturbances within
this flow will bring schc to chc PoPs to the EVV Tri-State on
Wednesday morning and again Thursday night into Friday morning.
Thermal profiles will be supportive of just light rain on
Wednesday. However, precipitation may start as a light rain/snow
mix Thursday night before switching to all rain Friday morning.
As of this time, no accumulating snow is expected.

We will transition back to very chilly conditions Friday through
next weekend as lobe of very dry Arctic air becomes dislodged
and swings through the northern Great Plains and Great Lakes
region. Latest model guidance has backed off on having the
region see the full brunt of this cold air mass. It now looks to
be more of glancing blow. Forecast temperatures this weekend,
while still forecast to be 10-15 degrees below normal, have
trended up about 5-10 degrees from yesterday`s forecast values.
This brings this high temperatures in the upper 20s to lower
30s this weekend with overnight lows in the teens. Morning wind
chill values will still fall into single digits over much of the
region as well.
