(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. && .LONG TERM...
