LONG TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 126 AM CDT FRI AUG 29 2025
THE UPPER RIDGE BREAKS DOWN AND RETROGRADES TO THE WEST OF OVER
THE WEEKEND. WITH THE COLD FRONT STALLING ACROSS OUR AREA AND
SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES MOVING OVERHEAD, THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WEEKEND.
HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES (50-80%) WILL LIKELY BE IN THE SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY TIME FRAME WHEN MODELS SHOW A STRONGER SHORTWAVE
MOVING THROUGH. HOWEVER, SOME OF THE CAMS ARE SHOWING A COMPLEX OF
STORMS MOVING INTO THE BIG COUNTRY FROM THE NORTH FRIDAY
NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING, WITH ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASHING FLOODING
CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN CONCERNS IN THIS TIME FRAME. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, PROBABILISTIC
GUIDANCE INDICATES AT LEAST A 50-60% CHANCE OF THE NORTHERN 2/3S
OF THE FORECAST AREA RECEIVING AT LEAST AN INCH OF RAINFALL.
ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ON
MONDAY ALTHOUGH THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES SHIFT TO OUR SOUTHERN
COUNTIES. POPS DIMINISH BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS UPPER RIDGING
TRIES TO NUDGE BACK INTO THE AREA. WILL CARRY A 20-30% CHANCE OF
SCATTERED STORMS ON THESE DAYS MAINLY FOR OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
TEMPERATURES WILL TREND MUCH COOLER ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY, WITH
HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S. READINGS DO CREEP BACK INTO THE 90S ON
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH MORE SUN AND DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
