.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 111 PM CDT Thu Aug 21 2025

Sfc high pressure is over the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi
Valley. An extensive low level cu field has developed across the
area today with northerly and northeasterly winds at the sfc. Highs
today are slightly cooler in the mid to upper 80s. Tonight we might
see some patchy, light fog develop, particularly around Cape
Girardeau. Drier conditions and near normal temperatures continue
through the weekend.

An upper level trof moves over the Great Lakes by Saturday
afternoon. This brings a dry cold front through the area late
Saturday night into Sunday. This will usher in below normal
temperatures for next week. Highs will be in the upper 70s to lower
80s with overnight lows in the 50s!

Light northeast winds and 5-6kft ceilings will prevail for most
of the period. KCGI is right on the edge of the more extensive
clouds and could scatter out overnight which brings up the
possibility of fog development. Guidance is hitting fog pretty
hard there, but kept to MVFR levels in a TEMPO group. Otherwise,
it is not out of the question for a MVFR ceiling to develop at
KEVV and possibly KMVN later tonight into the morning, but the
chance is too low to mention at this time.
