SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 132 PM CDT MON AUG 4 2025
MID-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE HAS SETTLED IN OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST
FOR THE WEEK. THIS MEANS OUR WEATHER THROUGH THE SHORT TERM
PERIOD WILL BE RATHER CALM WITH LITTLE TO NO PRECIPITATION
CHANCES. HOWEVER, LOOKING AT VISIBLE SATELLITE, THERE IS AN MCV
OVER SW MO. THOUGH, DUE TO DRY AIR IN PLACE (DEWPOINTS IN THE
50S) THE MCV WON'T BE PRODUCING ANY CONVECTION OVER OUR AREA BUT
HAS BROUGHT SOME CLOUD COVER TO THE SPRINGFIELD METRO. THE REST
OF THE DAY WILL BE PARTLY CLOUDY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID
80S. WINDS WILL REMAIN VARIABLE THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS
AS WELL. LOWS WILL BE IN THE 60S TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT.
EXPECT TOMORROW TO BE SUNNIER AND WARMER WITH HIGHS IN THE MID
TO UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 132 PM CDT MON AUG 4 2025
TEMPERATURES STEADILY RISE WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AS THE HIGH
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO MOVE INTO THE AREA. BY THURSDAY, HEAT INDEX
VALUES HOVER RIGHT AROUND 100 IN SOME AREAS, ESPECIALLY WEST OF HWY
65. WHILE THE HEAT WILL BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL, IT WON'T BE
HOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT ANY HEAT HEADLINES.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES DURING THIS PERIOD REMAIN BELOW 10% WITH THE
INFLUENCE OF THE RIDGE. LONGER RANGE MODELS ARE DEPICTING A FRONTAL
PASSAGE BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK THAT MAY BRING PRECIPITATION AND
POSSIBLY COOLER TEMPERATURES BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND.
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1222 AM CDT TUE AUG 5 2025
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. A VERY WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT

FAIR WEATHER CU ARE THE ONLY CLOUDS EXPECTED.
