Issued at 255 PM CDT Mon Aug 18 2025 An upper ridge will expand eastward from the plains states into the mid Atlantic states through Tuesday. The ridge retreats westward Wednesday into Thursday as Hurricane Erin moves northward across the western Atlantic. Drier air in the mid levels will continue to mix down each afternoon through Wednesday, so while highs will be in the low to mid 90s, dewpoints will drop into the upper 60s/low 70s and keep heat index values below advisory criteria. The coverage of showers and storms will also be lower the next few days. As the ridge weakens during the latter half of the week, the coverage of showers and thunderstorms will increase again. High temps will also drop a few degrees due to the increased rain coverage. /13 && .AVIATION...
