...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 245 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025

Latest objective surface analysis indicates MUCAPE values over
2000 j/kg across the forecast area, with values over 4000 centered
along the river valley. Despite the energy to support convection,
forcing for initiation is very weak and small scale in nature.
Only isolated cells were noted as of 19z. Any additional cells
that do form will dissipate by 01z.

Similar conditions are expected to develop on Friday, with
eastern sections favored for single cell development.

On Sunday, a weak cold front will approach the forecast area from
the north.  This feature is not expected to reach far into the
forecast area, However, the feature will be close enough to provide
adequate forcing to support convective development, especially
across northern sections.

Issued at 245 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025

Expect an upper level high to expand from the southern plains,
through the mid south to the mid Atlantic region during this
period. Very warm conditions are expected during this period.
