..NEW NEAR TERM
KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 1002 AM CDT MON OCT 19 2026
- COOL TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST TONIGHT BEFORE A SLIGHT WARMING
TREND TAKES SHAPE FROM EARLY TO MIDWEEK.
NEAR TERM
(TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 201 PM CDT MON OCT 19 2026
ONLY UPDATE MADE TO THE REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT'S FORECAST IS
LOWERING DEWPOINTS A LITTLE BIT. OTHERWISE, FORECAST REMAINS ON
TRACK. LOOK FOR TEMPS TO FALL INTO THE MID TO UPPER 40S TONIGHT
UNDER CLEAR SKIES WITH LIGHT WINDS. LOW CHANCE FOR PATCHY FOG IN
VALLEYS AND NEAR BODIES OF WATER OVERNIGHT.
SHORT TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1002 AM CDT MON OCT 19 2026
NOT MUCH OF A PATTERN CHANGE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THE RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED ACROSS THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST
AND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC WILL ONLY SCOOT A
LITTLE BIT. A SHORTWAVE PASSING THROUGH ON TUESDAY WILL BRING A
BOUT OF PARTLY CLOUDY TO CLOUDY SKIES, OTHERWISE MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES ARE ANTICIPATED THROUGH THURSDAY. THUS, DRY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL. TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE A SLIGHT WARM UP THROUGH THE WEEK,
REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 70S MIDWEEK. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN
CHILLY BUT SEASONABLE IN THE 40S. SO BE SURE TO DRESS IN LAYERS
FOR THE BUS STOP AND MORNING COMMUTE!
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1015 PM CDT SUN OCT 18 2026
THE UPPER RIDGE CENTERED JUST TO OUR WEST APPEARS TO BECOME
BETTER AMPLIFIED TOWARD THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEK KEEPING ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN PLACE ACROSS THE GREAT PLAINS AND MUCH OF
THE SOUTHEAST. HIGH PRESSURE AND LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE WILL
CONTINUE TO PROMOTE DRY WEATHER SO MUCH SO THAT EVEN CLOUD COVER
WILL BE HARD TO COME BY UNTIL AT LEAST LATE IN THE WEEKEND. HIGHS
WILL REACH THE MID TO UPPER 70S EACH AFTERNOON, PERHAPS EVEN
REACHING THE 80 DEGREE MARK IN SOME LOCATIONS. CLEAR SKIES AND
CALM OVERNIGHT CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD DIURNAL COOLING,
WITH LOWS IN THE 40S EACH NIGHT. LONG TERM GUIDANCE BECOMES A BIT
MORE UNCLEAR REGARDING THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN TOWARD THE END OF
THE WEEKEND, SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THE ABOVE-NORMAL
DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WHILE WE MONITOR TRENDS FOR ANY POTENTIAL
FRONTS EARLY NEXT WEEK.
