.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday Night)
Issued at 1028 PM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025

Satellite shows some mid to upper level clouds moving in from the NW
this evening. Expect overnight lows to dip into the upper 50s and
low 60s. Labor Day should be quiet for many of us, with highs in the
upper 70s to upper 80s. However, rain chances increase in the
afternoon for areas mainly south of I-40 and east of I-65. This
increase in rain chances is due to the development of an inverted
surface trough over the region. If you plan on enjoying Labor Day
outside, just be aware of your thunderstorm risk for the day and
know where to shelter if thunder roars!

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through next Monday)
Issued at 1028 PM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025

Guidance shows that rain chances will only increase into the work
week. Tuesday into Wednesday looks like our greatest risk, with a
medium-high (70-80%) chance of a wetting rain, which is at least
0.10". Once you bump up accumulation to half an inch, chances drop
into the low category (20-30%). Thursday brings another opportunity
for low to medium rain chances, but after that, things dry out.
Temperatures look to stay in the upper 70s to mid 80s through the
work week, adding to days with below normal temperatures for this
time of year.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 613 PM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025

VFR conditions expected for this TAF cycle as very dry air remains
in place. Low chance of showers and storms tomorrow afternoon will
preclude any inclusion in this set of mid-state TAFs. Look for
light winds to continue, but shift to the southeast/south
tomorrow.
