DISCUSSION
(TONIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1140 PM CDT SAT JUL 26 2025
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL FEATURE INCREASING HEAT AND HUMIDITY AS
AN AMPLIFYING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE RETROGRADES THROUGH MIDWEEK.
TUESDAY WILL BE THE HOTTEST DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOW
100S. HEAT INDICES OF 110+ ARE ANTICIPATED MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. AS SUCH, AN EXTREME HEAT WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS
TIME PERIOD. PROLONGED, OPPRESSIVE HEAT IS THE #1 WEATHER RELATED
KILLER EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES. WE URGE EVERYONE TO LIMIT
THEIR TIME OUTDOORS. FOR THOSE THAT MUST BE IN THE HEAT, ENSURE
YOU HAVE A WAY TO COOL OFF AND MONITOR YOURSELF FOR SIGNS OF HEAT-
RELATED ILLNESS.
THE FORECAST IS NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL
CONTINUE PUSHING WEST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK, ALLOWING THE
MID-SOUTH TO RETURN TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. RAIN CHANCES ON
THURSDAY WILL INCREASE AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE MS RIVER HAVE THE
GREATEST CHANCE OF SEEING APPRECIABLE RAINFALL THROUGH FRIDAY,
WITH RAINFALL TOTALS GENERALLY IN THE 0.50 - 1.00 INCH RANGE. THE
BACKSIDE OF THIS FRONT WILL FEATURE NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH
HIGHS THIS WEEKEND IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.
