.KEY MESSAGES...

- Mainly dry with a slow warming trend this week. Temperatures
  returning to slightly above normal values by Thursday into
  next weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 1238 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025

A surface ridge extending from a Great Lakes high continues to
suppress convective/precip chances across the area today, but
a mid-level shortwave is resulting in greater cloud cover
compared to yesterday along with some precip over NE KS.

Remnants from the upstream precip could result in some isolated
showers and storms west of I-49 late tonight into Monday
morning, but chances are less than 20% at this point. Even if
precip does develop, no severe weather would be expected.

Look for lows tonight in the upper 50s to mid 60s, followed by
highs in the low to mid 80s for Monday.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1238 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025

The pattern currently features an upper ridge over the
southwestern CONUS with northwest flow over the CWA. This
pattern will gradually shift eastward through the week. This
will lead to a warming trend and a dry forecast. Look for highs
closer to normal in the mid to upper 80s Tuesday, climbing
slightly above normal to the low to mid 90s by Thursday and
persisting through Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025

VFR conditions and light winds are expected to persist through
the TAF period. There is a <20% chance of showers and storms
near KJLN late tonight into Monday morning. If probabilities
increase, KJLN could see precip added to future forecasts.
