Issued at 208 PM CDT Sun Sep 28 2025
As of 2 PM Sunday afternoon, midlevel ridging continues to amplify
across the upper midwest. The increasing midlevel heights have
aided in temperatures reaching the mid and upper 80s this
afternoon. Otherwise, the surface pattern remains largely
influenced by surface ridging with southerly winds generally
10-15 mph. The surface/midlevel ridge slide east of the area by
Monday, allowing temperatures to return closer to normal with
highs in the lower 80s. As the remnants Tropical Depression 9
approach the Carolinas, the surface/midlevel ridge is likely to
regress westward across the upper midwest. This will keep dry
and seasonable temperatures across the region throughout the
upcoming work-week. The next potential for rain may arrive next
weekend as a frontal zone advances towards central KS.
