THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN HAS CHANGED VERY LITTLE OVER THE
LAST 24 HOURS. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE GREAT
LAKES REGION AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUES OVER THE WESTERN
CONUS.
WITH THE PATTERN IN PLACE, THE REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF NORTHERLY FLOW. THIS WILL ALLOW ANY LINGERING
SMOKE/HAZE FROM FIRES FROM THE NORTH AND WEST TO FILTER INTO THE
AREA. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SMOKE/HAZE POTENTIAL, SKIES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY SUNNY. DESPITE THE SUNSHINE, TEMPERATURES
TODAY WILL ONLY CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER/MIDDLE 80S.
WITH CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER
TO MIDDLE 60S.
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 150 AM CDT SUN AUG 3 2025
THE OVERALL PATTERN WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH THE

BY FRIDAY.
MINIMAL 10-20% CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS EXIST ONLY OVER
