west of Highway 65 into this evening. Temperatures will top out
around 90 with heat index values in the mid 90s.

Issued at 217 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025

The trough will move overhead Saturday night into Sunday,
resulting in higher PoPs up to 50-70% (highest in the
afternoon/evening). Slow storm movement and PWAT values of
1.6-1.8" may lead to very localized flooding, but this would be
the exception rather than the rule.

Monday through Thursday will see similar forecasts with 30-50%
chances for scattered showers and storm, primarily in the
afternoons/evenings. Daily highs in the mid to upper 80s (max
heat index values of 90-100) and lows in the mid 60s to lower
70s.
