.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025

Another dry and warm day across the Four State Region as
temperatures begin to return to the upper 80`s and near 90
following a brief break on Friday. Temperatures across the region
are sitting between 3-5 deg F warmer this afternoon when compared
to this time yesterday as the upper ridge and the influence of
it`s eastward track begins to move into the FA. At the same time,
calmer winds and dew points still in the mid and upper 50`s have
allowed for temperatures to warm quickly, with the potential that
a few of the area climate sites hit or just pass 90 deg F this
afternoon. By tonight, temperatures will once again fall into a
mix of 50`s and 60`s.

A similar theme will be the case for Sunday as highs in the mid
and upper 80`s, even some low 90`s, become evenly distributed. A
good chance exists for some of the area metros to cruise to 90, if
not just above. This will be the case for much of this week as
daily maxT`s in the upper 80`s and low 90`s are to be expected
with rainfall non-existent under the robust ridge aloft. This
looks to be the theme for much of the week, although deterministic
guidance is showing signs of life for rainfall prospects by the
end of the period, heading into next weekend. Even this far out,
respectable agreement amongst the GFS/ECMWF output for the ridge
to break down with troughing working into the midsection of the
CONUS. Key question to the puzzle will be moisture availability
and timing as we still remain a week out. Bottom line, some sign
of life is emerging for rain chances in the next 7-10 days.
