KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 601 AM CDT SUN APR 12 2026
- ELEVATED FIRE CONDITIONS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON, WITH A
COMBINATION OF WIND GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN
THE 25-35% RANGE.
- CONTINUED UNSEASONAL WARMTH THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
- LOW RAIN/STORM CHANCES TONIGHT INTO MONDAY, BUT AMOUNTS ARE

SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1040 PM CDT SAT APR 11 2026
THE RADAR IS CLEAR NOW AFTER SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON.
THERE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF PATCHY FOG FOR LOCATIONS THAT PICKED
UP SOME RAIN THIS EVENING. SUNDAY WILL BE DRY WITH STRONGER UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING INFLUENCES. WINDS WILL INCREASE IN RESPONSE TO A 995
MB SURFACE LOW MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
LOOKING AT MODEL SOUNDINGS FOR OUR AREA, WE WILL BE PRETTY DRY BELOW
700 MB ALLOWING FOR RH VALUES MIX TO BELOW 30% IN THE AFTERNOON.
THIS IN COMBINATION WITH THE 10-15 MPH SSW WINDS GUSTING TO 25 MPH
WILL LEAD TO SOME ENHANCED FIRE CONDITIONS FOR SUNDAY. I DON'T
EXPECT WINDS TO BE STRONG ENOUGH AND RH VALUES TO DROP ENOUGH TO
WARRANT A RED FLAG WARNING.
A SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER
RIDGING SUNDAY NIGHT AND CLIP OUR AREA. MODELS SHOW LOW TO MEDIUM
CHANCES OF SOME SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS MAKING IT INTO OUR
NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES AFTER 06Z. ANY SHOWER CHANCES WILL DECREASE BY
18Z MONDAY.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1040 PM CDT SAT APR 11 2026
ONCE THE SHORTWAVE MOVES PAST MONDAY, OUR AREA WILL REMAIN ALONG THE
NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE UPPER RIDGING. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL PASS
NORTH OF THE AREA ON TUESDAY WHICH WILL KEEP VERY LOW POPS IN THE
FORECAST ALONG THE TN/KY BORDER. A MORE SIGNIFICANT WAVE WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES ON THURSDAY
BRINGING SOME MEDIUM RAIN AND STORM CHANCES ON THURSDAY. THE WAVE
AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE WEAKENING AS THEY PASS
THROUGH THE AREA, SO I DON'T EXPECT ANY SEVERE WEATHER ISSUES,
AND I EXPECT QPF TO BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE. UPPER RIDGING WILL
REGAIN STRENGTH ON FRIDAY AND HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS ENTIRE
FORECAST.
