.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 208 AM CST Mon Nov 17 2025

A warm front will lift into the middle Mississippi and lower
Ohio valleys tonight as a surface low moves east from the
Central Plains. Isolated showers and storms are possible in
southeast Missouri this afternoon. Chances will quickly increase
this evening across the entire PAH forecast area, with numerous
showers and scattered thunderstorms late tonight into Tuesday
morning. A few storms could become strong enough to produce some
small hail. As the low moves through and east of our area,
chances will become focused mainly east of the Mississippi River
Tuesday afternoon and evening, with just a few lingering
showers late Tuesday night in portions of west Kentucky. Dry
conditions are expected Wednesday.

With the frontal boundary draped across our area Tuesday, we
will see a significant temperature gradient from
north/northeast to south/southwest. Highs today will be
seasonable, with well above normal lows tonight. On Tuesday,
high temperatures will range from the 60s in southwest Indiana,
to the middle 70s to near 80 degrees in southeast Missouri.
Temperatures Tuesday night and Wednesday will be 10 to 15
degrees above normal.

Models show another surface low pressure system in the Southern
Plains lifting a warm front north into our region Wednesday
night into Thursday, lingering the boundary in our area through
the end of the week. The surface low will slowly move northeast
along the front through Friday with plenty of available low
level moisture. Showers and scattered thunderstorms will quickly
spread across the region by late Wednesday night, continuing
through Friday. As the low moves through and east of our area
Friday into Friday night, thunderstorm chances will quickly
diminish, with shower chances decreasing from west to east
Friday night through Saturday. Forecast rainfall totals tonight
through Saturday are generally in the 1.5 to 2.5 inch range.
The model blend lingers small chances of showers into Sunday,
but some models are trying to build high pressure into the area,
with potentially dry conditions late Saturday through Sunday
with near normal temperatures.
