761 FXUS63 KSGF 031753 AFDSGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 1253 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 .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. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...None. MO...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...Titus LONG TERM...Titus AVIATION...Titus
