.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 212 AM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025

A weak upper level disturbance is moving across the Ohio Valley
this morning with a few clouds on satellite imagery.
Temperatures have fallen into the upper 60`s to lower 70`s at
discussion time with nearly calm wind. Some patchy fog remains
possible through the morning. Upper level ridging begins to
build across the plains today before shifting east into the Ohio
Valley by the weekend. Dry conditions are expected across the
region through the holiday period and the first half of the
weekend. Temperatures slowly increase the rest of the week and
into the weekend with highs returning to the low to mid 90`s.

By Sunday upper level ridging begins to break down as lower
heights approach from the north and west. A surface high will
move east allowing for a return of southerly flow and moisture
back into the area. A front will approach from the west before
nearly stalling out across the region next week. This front and
further support from troughing aloft will bring an unsettled
weather pattern to the region. Severe weather chances look low
given the lack of shear. PW`s rise to around 2-2.1" next week
supporting the potential for some heavy rainfall but don`t see
any signals for a more heightened risk of flash flooding at this
time.
