LONG TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1234 AM CDT THU OCT 9 2025
SUNDAY WILL FEATURE SOME OF THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES IN THE FORECAST
PERIOD AS THE LOW-LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE IS PUSHED EASTWARD OVER
OKLAHOMA AND HIGH TEMPERATURES RISE INTO THE LOWER TO MID-90S. THE
TROUGH OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL SWING ACROSS THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES AND NORTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY. INCREASED SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT WILL BRING THE RETURN OF PACIFIC MOISTURE TO THE SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL PLAINS. WIDESPREAD BREEZY SOUTH WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH
THE DAY BEFORE A COLD FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. THERE
REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT WILL PUSH AND
ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE GENERALLY BRINGS THE FRONT ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH
OKLAHOMA WITH COOLER POST-FRONTAL TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S
MONDAY AND WARM 80S TO LOWER 90S AHEAD OF THE FRONT. UPPER LEVEL
LIFT AND MOISTURE SUNDAY AFTERNOON MAY GENERATE SOME AFTERNOON
SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH ADDITIONAL LOW CHANCES OVERNIGHT SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA WITH THE PASSING COLD FRONT.
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WILL FEATURE A LONGWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE CONUS WITH SEVERAL EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES PHASING
EASTWARD INTO THE PLAINS. THUS, MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO
BE PRESENT WITH SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUING ALOFT. MODEL
VARIATIONS IN HOW FAR EAST THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS NEXT WEEK AND
STRENGTH/TIMING/TRACK OF EACH WAVE WILL PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN
FRONTS (POTENTIALLY COOLER TEMPERATURES) AND PRECIPITATION CHANCES.
DESPITE THE PATTERN CHANGE, HEAT REMAINS THE MAIN STORY AT THIS TIME
WITH ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT
WEEK.
