KEY MESSAGES

SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1140 PM CDT WED OCT 7 2026
OUR WEATHER WILL REMAIN VIRTUALLY UNCHANGED AS WE CLOSE OUT
ANOTHER WORK WEEK TODAY AND TOMORROW. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
KEEP CALM AND QUIET CONDITIONS IN PLACE, WITH LIGHT WINDS, CLEAR
SKIES, AND NEAR-AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL BE IN
THE MID TO UPPER 80S FOR MOST OF THE REGION, WITH A HANDFUL OF
LOCATIONS REACHING INTO THE LOW 90S IN THE BIG COUNTRY AND BRAZOS
VALLEY. MORNING LOWS WILL FALL INTO THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S AGAIN
TONIGHT, WITH A SLIGHTLY WARMER NIGHT IN THE LOW TO MID 60S
EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO AN INCREASE IN DEW POINT
TEMPERATURES.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1140 PM CDT WED OCT 7 2026
A CONTINUATION OF OUR QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF
THE EXTENDED PERIOD. EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH
THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, REINFORCED BY HURRICANE ISAIAS WHICH IS
ANTICIPATED TO MAKE LANDFALL ALONG THE GULF COAST EARLY THIS
WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES NEARLY UNCHANGED ON A DAILY
BASIS, WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S. THE
BIG COUNTRY/BRAZOS VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO SEE HIGHS IN THE LOW
90S MOST DAYS.
THE PRIMARY CHANGE WE'LL SEE THIS WEEKEND AND ESPECIALLY EARLY
NEXT WEEK WILL BE THE RETURN OF GULF MOISTURE TO THE REGION. THIS
WILL RESULT IN WARMER NIGHTS, WITH LOW TEMPERATURES ONLY FALLING
INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S SUNDAY NIGHT ONWARD. ADDITIONALLY,
THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SOME LOW RAIN
CHANCES TO RETURN EARLY IN THE WEEK. HOWEVER, ENSEMBLES ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE GREATEST RAIN CHANCES WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL
SOMETIME THURSDAY-SATURDAY NEXT WEEK AND COULD VERY WELL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY A STRONG COLD FRONT. STAY TUNED!
