DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 136 PM CDT WED JUL 2 2025
A RELATIVE REPRIEVE IN HUMIDITY TODAY WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
LOWER 60S ON THE BACKSIDE OF A DEPARTING LONGER WAVE TROUGH OVER
THE GREAT LAKES REGION. LIGHT WINDS MAY AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A LITTLE BIT OF GROUND FOG TONIGHT BUT SOUNDINGS SUGGEST
MOISTURE DECREASES WITH HEIGHT FOR NOW SO DOUBT IT DOES TOO MUCH
OVERALL.
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS BUILDS TO THE
NORTHEAST OVER THE NEXT 3-4 DAYS LEAVING US IN A DRY AND
SEASONABLY HOT PATTERN. HUMIDITY WILL INCREASE A BIT WITH
DEWPOINTS NUDGING BACK TO AROUND 70 DEGREES LEADING TO HEAT
INDEX VALUES AROUND 100. THE PROBABILITY OF ANY RAIN DURING THE
FRIDAY-SATURDAY PEAK HOLIDAY PERIOD SEEMS QUITE LOW. SOME
SHOWER/THUNDERSHOWERS START TO WORK BACK INTO THE FORECAST LATER
IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING SUNDAY WITH RELATIVELY WEAK HARD TO PIN
DOWN SYSTEMS NUDGING 73-75 DEGREE DEWPOINT AIR INTO SCATTERED CONVECTION
IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RIGHT NOW THOUGH THERE IS NO CLEAR
PERIOD WHERE THERE IS SOME KIND OF HEIGHTENED RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER OR FLASH FLOODING. PWAT VALUES SUNDAY NIGHT LOOK TO BUMP
AGAINST 2.1" SO EFFICIENT RATES SEEM LIKELY BUT CORFIDI VECTOR
ORIENTATION DOESN'T REALLY POINT TO TRAINING STORMS OR FLOODING
ISSUES RIGHT NOW.
