SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1230 AM CDT TUE OCT 7 2025
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE REGION TO START THE DAY ON TUESDAY. THE SCATTERED
SHOWERS MAY LAST INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON AS UPPER LEVEL LIFT WILL
AID IN SUSTAINING THE SHOWERS. WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER WILL REMAIN
OVER THE PANHANDLES TODAY EVEN IN THE ABSENCE OF RAIN. DUE TO THE
CLOUD COVER AND WITH THE PANHANDLES WELL BEHIND A COLD FRONT,
TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD BE BELOW AVERAGE. CURRENT
FORECAST HIGHS RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S TO THE LOWER 70S, WITH THE
WARMEST TEMPERATURES TO THE SOUTHEAST. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH MAY
TRAVERSE OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS THIS EVENING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING PROVIDING AMPLE LIFT FOR ADDITIONAL SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS. RAINFALL SHOULD END BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS
AS CLOUD COVER CLEARS ACROSS THE AREA. WITH CLEARING SKIES,
TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM BACK UP INTO THE 70S AREA WIDE ON WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. A RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHICH WILL LEAD TO INCREASING TEMPERATURES AND AN
END TO RAIN CHANCES.

LONG TERM
(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1230 AM CDT TUE OCT 7 2025
AN H500 RIDGE WITH THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE SOUTH OF THE
PANHANDLES WILL BUILD IN OVER THE GREAT PLAINS LATE THIS WEEK
THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THIS PATTERN TYPICALLY FAVORS WARMER
TEMPERATURES AND DRIER CONDITIONS FOR THE REGION AND THAT LOOKS TO
BE THE CASE ONCE AGAIN. HIGHS WILL WARM UP INTO THE 80S WITH SOME
LOCATIONS REACHING THE LOW 90S DURING THIS TIME FRAME. TROUGHING
BEGINS TO DIG SOUTH ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH SHOULD SUPPRESS THE RIDGE OFF TO THE EAST. AS
THIS OCCURS, A COLD FRONT MAY SWEEP SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS BRINGING
A RETURN TO MORE FALL LIKE TEMPERATURES FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE
NEXT WORK WEEK.
