DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 142 PM CDT MON AUG 31 2026
THE AREA WILL REMAIN IN AN EASTERLY MID/UPPER FLOW PATTERN AS AN
UPPER RIDGE REMAINS CENTERED TO OUR NORTH. THIS WILL MAINTAIN A
TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN WITH DAILY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WEAK DISTURBANCES RIDING WEST
ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE WILL BRING INCREASED
RAIN CHANCES THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. HIGHS WILL INCREASE INTO THE
MID 90S, BUT DAILY AFTERNOON MIXING WILL DROP DEWPOINTS INTO THE
LOW 70S/UPPER 60S AND PREVENT AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES FROM REACHING
WIDESPREAD HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA.
THE RIDGE SHIFTS WESTWARD AND BUILDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS
WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN
ACROSS THE AREA, POTENTIALLY ALLOWING CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES TO MOVE
SOUTHWARD INTO THE AREA THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. /13
