SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1243 PM CDT FRI OCT 2 2026
FALL IS DEFINITELY IN THE AIR TODAY. THE COLD FRONT PUSHED THROUGH
THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING AND, ALONG WITH CLOUD COVER, HAS KEPT
THE REGION COOL AND MOIST. LIGHT DRIZZLE HAS BEEN COMMON ACROSS THE
FA, AND TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN STEADY-STATE RANGING FROM AROUND 55
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST TO 68 IN STONEWALL COUNTY. ACCORDINGLY,
AFTERNOON HIGHS HAVE BEEN LOWERED TO REFLECT THE MUCH LOWER
TEMPERATURES. CLOUD COVER WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY
LEAVING LITTLE TO NO DANGER OF MUCH IN THE WAY OF SURFACE HEATING.
THIS WILL ALSO HAVE AN EFFECT ON OVERNIGHT LOWS WHICH WILL ONLY DROP
INTO THE 50S. SKIES WILL CLEAR SLOWLY FROM NORTH TO SOUTH SATURDAY
AS THE UPPER LOW/TROUGH DISSIPATES. AFTERNOON HIGHS SHOULD BE
WARMER, IN THE 70S, AS BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED AND CAA
ENDS. RAIN SHOWERS/DRIZZLE WILL ALSO END FROM SOUTH TO NORTH
SATURDAY.
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1243 PM CDT FRI OCT 2 2026
WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE SLOW TO VEER TO THE SOUTH AS SURFACE RIDGING
REMAINS NEAR THE FA THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY. AN UPPER HIGH WILL BE
CENTERED OVER THE FOUR CORNERS BY LATE SUNDAY AND WILL REMAIN TO
SOME DEGREE THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. MODELS DIVERGE WITH
THE OVERALL PATTERN BY LATE NEXT WEEK, BUT UPPER TROUGHING SEEMS TO
BE A COMMON THEME AT SOME POINT BEYOND THE FORECAST PERIOD. UNTIL
THEN, WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.
