.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 214 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

Behind yesterday`s cold front we`re starting to see clearing skies
with the last of the clouds moving out by mid morning at the latest.
Sfc high pressure that is centered over the upper Midwest, starts to
fill in across the area today leading to slightly gusty northeast
winds and cooler temperatures in the lower to mid 70s with clear
skies. As ridging aloft brings height rises, the sfc high deepens as
it moves over the Great Lakes. This brings continued cooler
temperatures for Thursday and Friday. Thursday night looks to be the
coldest night of the 7-day with lows dipping into the upper 30s
around Mt. Vernon, IL. This along with clear skies and light to calm
winds means we could potentially see a patchy first frost.

The weekend kicks off a warming trend with highs climbing into the
mid to upper 70s for Saturday and back into the upper 70s to lower
80s by Monday onward. Dry conditions continue through the end of the
7-day with strong ridging aloft aided by colliding lows off the NC
coast.
