DISCUSSION
Issued at 154 PM CDT Tue May 12 2026
Tonight through Tuesday...
The surface high over our area will help keep weather conditions quiet tonight. Sky conditions will remain generally clear across our CWA through the overnight period with mid to high clouds beginning to build from the east early Wednesday morning. Given the clear skies, light sfc wind, and a humid boundary layer, some dense fog cannot be ruled out for eastern and southern portions of the area late tonight through early Wednesday morning. A few minor changes have been made to the fog graphic and the "Limited" threat for patchy fog has been extended slightly further to the west. Overnight night lows will dip into the upper 50s/lower 60s areawide.
No adjustments have been made to the long term period. A dry cold front will move across the area Wednesday night/early Thursday morning which will briefly bring afternoon highs down by a few degrees. Dry conditions will continue looking ahead into the weekend with highs in the upper 80s. It is possible that a few areas north of Hwy 82 could see highs reach 90 degrees. Long term guidance is hinting at in increase in moisture and a slight chance for showers/storms along and west of I-55 on Sunday. A slight chance for showers and storms cannot be ruled out on Monday mainly for areas west of I-55. Rain chances will improve across the area heading into Tuesday. /CR/
