.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 225 PM CDT Fri Aug 22 2025

What a difference a day makes in regards to the heat and humidity!
Temperatures are in the 70s on their way to the low to mid 80s, with
dewpoints only in the mid 50s to mid 60s and falling with drier air
coming out of Montana/southern Canada. The core of the coolest air
settles over the Western Lakes region, and persists from the weekend
well into next week. 850mb temperatures bottom out at 2 standard
deviations below climo Sunday/Monday returning back towards
climatological `normal` mid-week. Mixed winds thanks to a gradient
tomorrow top out around 20 to 25kts and the low level cool airmass
will destabilize beneath the mid level inversion for some daytime
driven shallow cumulus. Other than that it will remain dry until
maybe the second half of next week.
