DISCUSSION  
 
ISSUED AT 105 PM CDT SAT SEP 7 2024  
 
SOME CU IS SQUEEZING OUT THIS AFTERNOON, IN THE OTHERWISE DRYING  
AIR MASS, WITH HIGH PRESSURE DROPPING SOUTH FROM IA/WI/IL. IT'LL  
CENTER ACROSS CENTRAL IL BY TMRW MORNING, AND ANCHOR ALONG THE  
OHIO VALLEY THRU TMRW NIGHT. THIS WILL KEEP THE REFRESHING FETCH  
OF COOL/DRY FLOW INTO THE REGION THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE  
WEEKEND.  
 
BY MONDAY, THE LONG WAVE TROF IS OVER THE NORTHEAST, SO OUR  
HEIGHTS START TO REBOUND. THIS SETS THE STAGE FOR A WARMUP,  
RETURNING TO NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS FOR THE WORK WEEK. WE  
PUSH 90F DURING THE MID WEEK PERIOD, BUT FORTUNATELY, DEW  
POINTS STAY DOWN IN THE 40S THRU MONDAY, AND THE 50S TIL WEEK'S  
END, WHEN THEY RETURN TO AROUND 60F; THIS KEEPS RAIN CHANCES  
PRETTY MUCH OUT OF THE FORECAST TIL THEN. WHEN RAIN CHANCES DO  
RETURN, THE BIG QUESTION IS WILL THEY BE SCANT/GLANCING CHANCES,  
LIKE THE EURO SUGGESTS, OR A ROBUST, TROPICALLY LINKED CHANCE,  
LIKE THE GFS HAS BEEN HINTING. THE ENSEMBLES, AT THIS WRITING,  
LEAN TOWARD THE FORMER, BUT IT'LL BE WORTH KEEPING AN EYE UPON,  
PARTICULARLY FOR BIG OUTDOOR EVENTS PLANNED DURING THAT TIME  
FRAME.  
 
DRY RH IN THE 20TH PERCENTILE, COMBINED WITH CPC'S DROUGHT-  
WORSENING PROJECTION, WILL MAKE FOR HEIGHTENED FIRE DANGER EACH  
AFTERNOON SUNDAY-TUESDAY. WINDS ARE LIGHT THESE DAYS AND THUS  
PRECLUDE THE NECESSITATION FOR HEADLINES, BUT BURN BANS ARE IN  
PLACE FOR A NUMBER OF LOCALES.
