.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1219 PM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

The Four State Region remains stuck in the middle of two weather
systems across the CONUS. Between troughing across the SE CONUS
that will support the development of a coastal low along the Mid-
Atlantic states, and a large upper level disturbance approaching
the PNW, amplified ridging bisects the country, with local
influence expected to only increase as the ridge slides east
through the weekend. Locally, this will keep the region dry while
also allowing for afternoon highs to creep closer to 90 deg F for
the start of next week. The good news in this is that both
deterministic guidance and NBM output depict dew points to remain
in the upper 50`s to near 60 deg F. So while the actual
temperature may return to the 90`s, humidity will be tolerable.

Looking to next week, and as previously mentioned, the pattern
remains benign for the foreseeable future as the influence of the
ridge keeps the FA in a dry and warm state. While not normally
discussed in this portion, given the prolonged dry period, and a
noticeable uptick in local drought conditions, fire weather due to
low relative humidity and dry soils will need to be closely
monitored in the coming days. This concern will only increase as
the ridge remains parked overhead, with any chance for moisture
rounding the ridge on the western and northern side.
