DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 955 PM CDT MON OCT 5 2026
ANOTHER QUIET NIGHT WITH CLEAR SKIES AND WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH.
QUIET PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS THE LLJ
CONTINUES TO STREAM IN DRY AIR FROM WEST TEXAS/NEW MEXICO. A
MID-LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH TONIGHT WON'T DO MUCH MORE THAN
SLIGHTLY SHIFT WINDS TO SOUTHWESTERLY TUESDAY MORNING. WE'LL SEE
WARMER AIR BUILD IN BEHIND THIS MID-LEVEL WAVE BRINGING
TEMPERATURES BACK UP INTO THE LOW 80S TUESDAY AFTERNOON. EXPECT
ONLY ONE DAY OF THIS WARMER WEATHER THOUGH AS A DRY COLD FRONT
WILL PUSH THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY BRINGING
BACK NORTHERLY WINDS AND MILDER TEMPERATURES. HIGHS ON TUESDAY
PEAK IN THE MID-TO-UPPER 70S.
A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW PATTERN SETS IN FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK KEEPING TEMPERATURES MILDER WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW-TO-MID
70S FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SHORTWAVES MAY BRING OCCASIONAL
HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS BUT DRY LOWER-LEVELS WILL KEEP PRECIP CHANCES
LOW. NEXT LOW (20-30%) CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/STORMS IS THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY WHEN A WARM FRONT MAY BRING IN SOME
LOWER-LEVEL MOISTURE BUT MAY NOT BE A VERY NOTICEABLE AMOUNT.
DRY AIR COULD KEEP MUCH FROM REACHING THE GROUND.
THE RIDGE OVER THE WEST COAST FINALLY MOVES THROUGH OVER THE
REESTABLISHING DRY CONDITIONS AND WARMER TEMPERATURES. A WETTER
PATTERN LOOKS TO SET BACK UP NEXT WEEK, CORROBORATED BY THE
CPC'S 6-10 DAY OUTLOOK.
