  into next weekend.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 135 AM CDT Mon Sep 16 2024

One more day of lingering pops for southeast Missouri can be
expected as the drier air needs about another 24 hours to advect
westward thru the remainder of the FA. Up to an additional 1/4"
or so of rainfall is possible across the Ozarks.

High pressure increasingly asserts its influence upon our
sensible weather after today, returning dry conditions with dew
points in the 50s to lower 60s for the duration of the
forecast. That`ll make the above normal temperatures in the
upper 80s more bearable at least, with night-time lows dropping
to around 60.

While next pcpn chances do appear by day 7 in the blend, it`s a
limited chance at this point and contingent upon the high being
pinched off enough by approaching areas of low pressure that
remain centered some considerable distance away. As a result,
won`t argue its slight chance mention, but also won`t be shocked
to eventually see the models waffle on that by a day or two
either.

The only concern to aviation is fog potential tonight at KCGI
and KMVN. KCGI has the best chance at IFR or lower conditions.
