.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 304 PM CDT Tue Aug 12 2025

Upper level troughing extends across the north central U.S.
this afternoon and is resulting in scattered showers and storms
across portions of the area. Can`t rule out brief gusty winds in
some of the stronger storms but severe weather is not expected
this afternoon. The upper trough and a surface boundary across
the region on Wednesday will support continued chances of
rain/storms. By Thursday, the front will move east of the area
with northerly winds as high pressure builds in from the north.
Most of the area will likely remain dry with slight chances
across mainly the southern half of the region.

Heights build across the region late in the week and especially
over the weekend leading to increasing temperatures and dry
conditions. High temperatures over the weekend will rise into
the mid 90s with heat indices likely climbing into the triple
digits. Localized heat indices may approach 105 degrees
Saturday and Sunday. Towards the end of the extended period, the
ridge shows signs of breaking down. This may lead to a slow
increase in convection but temperatures will still remain hot
with highs remaining in the mid 90s.
