KEY MESSAGES

- CLOUDY THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY ON SATURDAY WITH DRIZZLE IN THE
MORNING HOURS.
- GRADUALLY WARMING TEMPERATURES THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH DRY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1024 PM CDT FRI OCT 2 2026
LOW STRATUS WILL REMAIN ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE REGION THROUGHOUT THE
NIGHTTIME HOURS AND THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY ON SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH IT
IS NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR WHEN STRATUS WILL COMPLETELY CLEAR OUT. THIS
WILL CREATE A TRICKY TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY WITH THE LACK
OF CONFIDENCE IN THE CLOUD COVER FORECAST. THIS IS ALSO EVIDENT IN
THE WIDE RANGE OF TEMPERATURES SHOWN IN GUIDANCE. OTHERWISE, MOSTLY
DRIZZLE AND VERY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING. AN UPPER LEVEL SHEAR AXIS WILL SLOWLY PUSH SOUTH BUT WILL
STILL CREATE SOME WEAK LARGE SCALE ASCENT OVER THE SOUTHERN ROLLING
PLAINS. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE STILL ONLY EXPECTED TO BE ON A
FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH. ELSEWHERE, MOSTLY DRIZZLE CAN BE
ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1024 PM CDT FRI OCT 2 2026
A WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN THIS WEEKEND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK WITH THE BUILDING OF AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE FOUR
CORNERS. THE WARMING TREND WILL PRIMARILY BE DUE TO THE LACK OF
CLOUD COVER EVEN THOUGH LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUT OF
THE EAST. WINDS WILL RETURN TO THE SOUTHWEST AS LEE TROUGHING
ESTABLISHES ITSELF. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN
TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS A SERIES OF SHORT WAVE TROUGHS
ENTER INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. STRONGER LEE TROUGHING LATE IN THE
WEEK WILL BRING TEMPERATURES BACK UP ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES.
