.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 208 PM CDT Sat Sep 27 2025
A broad and highly amplified ridge of high pressure looks to be the
main feature in control of central IL`s weather through at least the
next week, meaning little to no hope for rainfall. Even cloud cover
of any sort looks like it will be hard to come by. Temperatures
will continue to rise the next few days, with highs reaching the
upper 80s to around 90 Sunday through Tuesday, while lows generally
at least dip into the 50s. Normal highs are in the mid 70s, while
normal lows are around 50 this time of year. Lows will be closer to
normal given the dry conditions, clear skies, and light winds for
most of the period, allowing good radiational cooling at night.
An Atlantic tropical disturbance likely to become a tropical storm
within the next day now appears unlikely to have any impact in
this region, compared with a day ago when it appeared it could
have some impact on wind direction and cloud cover. Nevertheless,
a slight cooling looks on track for late next week as a cooler
northeast flow develops as a result of a strong Canadian high
positioning itself north of the Great Lakes.
