THERE IS TROUGHING ALOFT OVER THE EAST WHILE RIDGING SHIFT TO THE
UPPER MIDWEST. WITH JUST A FEW REMAINING CLOUDS OVER THE FAR
SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND LIGHT WINDS, EXPECT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SOME FOG THIS MORNING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
AREA. THANKS TO HIGH PRESSURE WE SHOULD STAY DRY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY WITH THE MAIN ACTIVITY TO OUR EAST AND SOUTHEAST.
GIVEN THE MAINLY CLEAR SKIES FOR TODAY, EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO
COME BACK UP TO THE MID 80S. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE
TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID-UPPER 80S AND EVEN
A FEW 90S POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY (40-60% IN SOUTHERN IL, 50-70%
IN SEMO).
ON WEDNESDAY GENERAL TROUGHINESS SETS UP OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS
AND UPPER MIDWEST WHILE SFC WINDS TURN BACK TO THE SOUTH. A FEW
RIPPLES THROUGH THE TROF BRING BACK MAINLY AFTERNOON PRECIP
CHANCES THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES STABILIZE
AROUND NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS WELL. HOWEVER, WITH THE
RETURN OF MID 70S DEW POINTS, THE HEAT INDICES WILL CLIMB BACK
INTO THE 100-105 DEGREE RANGE ON SUNDAY AND KICK OFF OUR NEXT
