.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 301 AM CDT Fri May 23 2025

A quiet night across the Upper Mississippi Valley region with mostly
clear skies, light winds, and cooler temperatures to start off the
holiday weekend. The mid-level pattern highlights a slow to exit
trough over the Great Lakes that lingers through Saturday before it
slides eastward. The pattern upstream features an impressive ridge
building across central Canada. We're stuck on the western edge of
the mid-level trough & downstream from the ridge over central
Canada. This will translate to a stretch of seasonable & dry weather
through mid-week as we remain under the influence of a sprawling
surface high pressure centered over Ontario and later the Great Lakes
region.

For today, we'll have a generally dry forecast with seasonable
temperatures that'll stretch through Memorial day weekend. Scattered
high clouds will give way to diurnal Cu development this afternoon.
Winds will be light & out of the east-northeast today before turning
variable tonight into Saturday. Saturday will be the one asterisk
for the weekend as a plume of better moisture is progged to
move through the region. This shouldn't ruin your outdoor plants
on Saturday. Precipitation should be isolated & light, either a
sprinkle or a light shower at most. That being said, most of us
stay dry. We will dry out by Sunday with a return to seasonable
temps & mostly sunny skies. This will be true again on Memorial
day with highs in the mid 60s to lower 70s. Winds will be on
the lighter side through the weekend.

The pattern will begin to change Tuesday into Wednesday. Guidance
features a shortwave that is progged to move through the region in
northwest flow. There is some disparity in the guidance in this time
frame as essentially we have an upper low drifting through a mean
ridge upstream. This likely brings our best chance at widespread
precipitation Tuesday/Wednesday time frame before the trough exits
downstream. Next Thursday & Friday will see the ridge begin to build
in across the Upper Midwest. This will result in a warming trend
into the following weekend.
