Issued at 139 PM EDT Fri Aug 8 2025 Torrid upper ridge will amplify a bit further near term before flattening across the Great Lakes somewhat late weekend. This in turn should allow for composite outflow/cold frontal zone to sink sewd into at least northwest portions of the area later Sunday night, providing chances for tstorms that will then extend through mid week timed with active storm track through srn Canada. Hottest temps expected Sat - Mon beneath heart of upper ridge yet temps expected to continue well above normal through the week with reamplification of upper ridge likely again by next weekend. In between, proximity of stalled frontal zone implied across parts of the area supports chance pops tied to the diurnal curve, mainly afternoon and evening. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 123 PM EDT Fri Aug 8 2025 Expect plenty of ridging across the area, which is expected to provide prevailing dry conditions. BCFG was noted at FWA this morning, but they stayed mostly in VFR through the morning hours today. Fog will likely become more shallow to gone completely as we continue to remain dry each day. As such, will provide VFR conditions through the period for both TAFs. Generally, south winds prevail and 10 kts sustained will be possible at SBN this afternoon and again tomorrow so additional groups will be used to highlight that change. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
