KEY MESSAGES
- QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, WITH
COOL NIGHTS AND WARM AFTERNOONS.
SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1240 AM CDT WED OCT 7 2026
QUIET WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TODAY AND TOMORROW AS A SURFACE RIDGE
AXIS REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION. LIGHT NORTH TO NORTHEAST
WINDS WILL PREVAIL, WHICH WILL MAINTAIN LOWER HUMIDITY AND
PLEASANT CONDITIONS. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL TOP OUT MOSTLY IN THE
MID TO UPPER 80S, WITH A FEW AREAS REACHING THE LOW 90S ACROSS THE
BIG COUNTRY AND BRAZOS VALLEY. THE LOW HUMIDITY, CLEAR SKIES, AND
LIGHT WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES TO FALL
INTO THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S EACH NIGHT.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1240 AM CDT WED OCT 7 2026
AFTER A PROLONGED PERIOD WITH LITTLE MOISTURE, WE SHOULD START TO
SEE DEEPER MOISTURE CREEP BACK INTO THE REGION LATE THIS WEEK AS
WHAT IS CURRENTLY TROPICAL DEPRESSION 9 MOVES NORTHWARD THROUGH
THE GULF. FORTUNATELY, THE PROXIMITY OF THE TROPICAL SYSTEM WILL
REINFORCE EAST/NORTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE REGION, WHICH WILL KEEP
OUR TRANQUIL TEMPERATURES IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE MAIN
CHANGE WE'LL SEE WILL BE WARMER MORNINGS DUE TO THE INCREASE IN
HUMIDITY.
AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, ANOTHER UPTICK IN MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED WITH THE RETURN OF SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS, WHICH WILL
BRING LOW RAIN CHANCES BACK TO THE REGION EARLY IN THE WEEK.
WE'LL BE MONITORING THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL RAIN CHANCES AND
PERHAPS A COLD FRONT MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK AS A TROUGH APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1240 AM CDT WED OCT 7 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD. WINDS WILL REMAIN
LIGHT AND VARIABLE FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD BUT SHOULD STRENGTHEN
TO 5 TO 7 KNOTS OUT OF THE EAST/NORTHEAST FOR A FEW HOURS THIS
AFTERNOON. NO AVIATION CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED.
