.KEY MESSAGES...

- Temperatures will be above normal this week with little to no
  precipitation expected through the upcoming weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 200 AM CDT Tue Oct 6 2026

Today: Another warm day is expected as high pressure slides
into the Eastern U.S. leading to breezy southerly flow locally
(gusts 20-25 mph). Highs will reach the mid/upper 70s for most
of the area with plenty of sunshine expected. The air mass will
remain fairly dry with dewpoints in the 40s to low 50s.

On Wednesday, slightly warmer conditions are forecast with
highs in the mid 70s to lower 80s. A weak surface front will
move through eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois during the day,
causing winds to gradually veer from the west-southwest to the
northwest; winds will remain relatively light due to a weaker
pressure gradient across the region. Low-level moisture is
expected to pool along and ahead of the aforementioned front,
yielding surface dewpoints in the 50s to lower 60s in the far
southwest. No precipitation is expected due to minimal low-
level convergence along the front and a lack of forcing aloft.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 200 AM CDT Tue Oct 6 2026

The warm and generally dry weather is expected to continue for
late in the week. There is a low chance (<20%) for scattered
showers late Thursday night into Friday morning as a bout of
elevated warm air advection traverses the area. This is in
response to a big shift in the upper-level pattern across the
contiguous U.S., as a deep upper trough digs into the Pacific
Northwest and surface cyclogenesis ensues across the Northern
Plains.

By the weekend, ridging aloft will amplify across the Midwest as
a longwave trough sets up over the Western U.S. Therefore,
expect warm, breezy, and dry conditions for eastern Iowa and
northwest Illinois with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1240 PM CDT Tue Oct 6 2026

Generally a VFR TAF cycle around a slow moving dry frontal
passage through the area tonight and into Wednesday morning. The
main thing will be the southwesterly gusty sfc winds this
afternoon decreasing and starting to veer to the west this
evening and into Wednesday morning. One thing maybe to watch
for is that several CAMs are generating at least patchy fog
along the light and variable convergent sfc winds along the slow
moving front late tonight and into Wed morning. This would be
mainly north of I-80, and with the drying during the daytime, it
makes for low confidence in occurring. But may still touch upon
it at DBQ.
