.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 155 AM CDT Fri Aug 15 2025

The mid/upper ridge is progged to pivot east/northeast into the area
again today before setting up across the Ozarks through the weekend.
This will bring hot and dry conditions back to the area today with
a persistence type forecast anticipated through the upcoming
weekend.

Dry, hot and breezy will be the rule through the weekend with
afternoon highs topping out in the 95-100 degree range. Maximum heat
indices will also top out around 105 in many areas and a heat
advisory was issued for this afternoon and evening. If dewpoint
temperatures don`t mix out today then the advisory may be expanded
into the weekend.

As we move into early next week, the pattern may support isolated or
widely scattered storms returning to the region. A more pronounced
shortwave trough is progged to drop south toward the middle of the
week helping to break down the stubborn ridge and bringing widely
scattered storms to the area late Tue. A frontal passage will also
occur allowing more seasonable air to overspread the area by
mid to late week. High temperatures late in the week are
expected to be in the upper 80s/around 90.
