.KEY MESSAGES...
- Fog tonight, possibly dense along and north of I-80.
- Heat builds back in Sunday through Tuesday, potentially
dangerous, but there will also be episodes of storms making
for a challenging temperature forecast and low confidence on
the spatial extent and magnitude of the heat (day to day
evaluation needed).
- Pattern change late week to usher in cooler, more seasonable
and drier conditions.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 212 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2025
Following early day activity, coverage of showers and storms
has decreased with isolated to widely scattered activity
possible into this evening. No severe weather or new flooding is
expected.
For tonight, a 15-20% chance for showers and non-severe storms
will remain mainly along the Highway 34 corridor. Look for Fog
to develop across much of the area due to surface moisture from
recent rainfall and clearing skies. Models are hitting areas
along and north of I-80 for the greatest coverage and potential
for dense fog. A Dense Fog Advisory may be needed.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 212 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2025
A ridge builds into the central U.S. Sunday into Tuesday, with
the CWA being on the northeastern periphery, which will allow
for potential for excessive heat and MCS activity.
Sunday looks dry for the most part, with 15-20% chances for
convection along and south of the Highway 34 corridor. With
highs around 90 and dew points in the mid 70s to around 80
(highest south), heat index values are expected to be 100-105
south of I-80. A Heat Advisory has been issued for these
southern areas.
Sunday night into Tuesday will see the greatest heat and MCS
potential. These two hazards may counter each other since any
thunderstorm activity may keep daytime temperatures cooler,
depending on track, timing, and coverage of convection which is
highly uncertain at this time. Any MCS activity, which would
most likely fall in the late night into morning hours both
Sunday night and Monday night, would bring potential for severe
thunderstorm winds and flooding. If convective activity does
not interfere with daytime temperatures, look for highs in the
low to mid 90s. Temperatures combined with dewpoints in the mid
70s to around 80, due in part to transpiration, heat index
values may be oppressive in the 105-110+ range both days. Heat
headlines may be needed as factors become more certain. Again,
confidence in these hazards is low a this time, so check back
for updates.
A pattern change then occurs mid to late week with chances for
showers and cooler conditions Wednesday, followed by cooler and
drier conditions late week. Highs in the 70s to around 80 are
currently expected.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 630 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2025
Main concern tonight into Sunday AM will be areas of dense fog
leading to periods of LIFR to VLIFR (~1/4SM visibilities), most
likely at DBQ and CID. A very humid air mass, clearing skies
and light winds will set the stage for fog development which
will expand in coverage late tonight into early Sunday AM;
confidence on dense fog is a little lower at MLI and BRL.
Another potential impact for tonight is isolated to scattered
storms near MLI, so have mentioned thunder in a PROB30 there.
The fog will gradually dissipate through the mid morning hours
on Sunday, with light winds expected to continue.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 200 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2025
Some local tributary rivers are experiencing flooding from
rainfall that fell last night and this morning, especially in our
southern forecast area. Specifically, we are expecting rapid rises
along the Fox River in Wayland Missouri, where Moderate Flood
Stage is forecast. Rises into Minor Flood Stage are also being
seen along the Des Moines River in St. Francisville Missouri.
These crests are expected to last about 24 to 36 hours before
going back down below flood stage. Isolated-scattered storms can
be seen this afternoon and evening, but are not expected to have
too much more of an impact on the current forecasts out. If this
is to change, we will update accordingly.
Please see the latest Flood Statements and Flood Warnings for
details.
