DISCUSSION

Issued at 234 AM CDT Wed Sep 23 2026

Lowered highs for today as NBM looks to be too warm again given the expected cloud cover today and yesterday's outcome. The upper low drifts southeast today and cloud cover should diminish accordingly later on. Upper ridging builds over the Midwest Thursday and Friday. There is the potential for a shortwave to squash the ridge temporarily this weekend which could lead to some precip chances on Sunday. Confidence isn't high at this time though due to model discrepancies. NBM is mainly dry at this point except for a small area in SEMO with 20% PoPs on Sunday.

The next main system looks to come through around mid-week with a longwave trof aloft. Timing is low confidence at this point. NBM brings in widespread PoPs from the west by Tuesday evening and they ramp up into Wednesday. All of this is still a ways out and subject to change of course.

MVFR cigs will filter back in across the western terminals overnight, prevailing across all terminals through Wednesday morning. There is a 20-30% chance of brief IFR conditions early Wednesday morning, especially at KEVV/KOWB. Cigs gradually return to VFR by Wednesday afternoon. North winds will remain around 3-4 kts overnight, increasing to 6-10 kts on Wednesday.
