.SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 130 PM MDT Tue Sep 24 2024

Synoptic Overview: An upper level low (centered over Iowa at
18Z) will progress southward into MO-IL (today).. then stall
invof the Central MS River Valley (Wed). Meanwhile, a pronounced
upper level ridge over the western CONUS will shift eastward
across the Rockies (tonight) and High Plains (Wed).

Expect a clearing trend today followed by clear skies and a
modest warming trend on Wednesday.. as the aforementioned ridge
shifts eastward over the region. Breezy (15-30 mph) N-NNW winds
this afternoon will become light/variable this evening and
overnight, shifting to the S at 5-15 mph during the day on Wed..
as the MSLP pattern re-orients in response to the development
of a modest lee trough in Colorado.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 130 PM MDT Tue Sep 24 2024

Long range guidance indicates that a broad upper ridge will
prevail over the majority of the lower 48 in this period..
albeit with a cut-off low trapped within.. meandering invof the
Central/Southern MS River Valley. As long as the cut-off low
remains well downstream of the Tri-State area (as guidance
presently indicates).. expect benign weather and near average
temperatures.. climatology.
