738 AM CDT WED OCT 14 2026
DISCUSSION
RIDGING AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL DOMINATE THROUGH FRIDAY,
AND THIS HIGH WILL ALLOW FOR WARMER THAN SEASONAL TEMPERATURES TO TAKE HOLD
ACROSS MOST OF OUR ZONES TO FINISH OUT THE WORK WEEK. OVER THE EARLY
WEEKEND, A STRONG DRY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION, ALLOWING FOR
OUR TEMPERATURES TO SWING BACK DOWN INTO COOLER MORE SEASONABLE TEMPS FOR
THE WEEKEND. CRITICALLY LOW AFTERNOON MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES CAN
BE EXPECTED AREAWIDE WEDNESDAY, HOWEVER; THE 20-FOOT WIND WILL REMAIN
LIGHT. DENSE FOG IS CURRENTLY ONGOING ALONG THE HWY-84 CORRIDOR AND WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HWY-84 CORRIDOR AGAIN THURSDAY MORNING.
