.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1214 PM CDT Thu Oct 2 2025

- Above normal temperatures and dry weather conditions will
  continue across the region through next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday afternoon)
Issued at 155 AM CDT Thu Oct 2 2025

Very little change is expected the next several days as we remain in
a stagnant fall pattern. Mid level ridging overhead will suppress
convection and even most clouds for that matter. A dry airmass
will allow temperatures to climb into the 90s for most locations
outside of the higher terrain. One good thing...the lower
dewpoints will make for very nice mornings with lows in the 60s
for most, 50s in the mountains.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 155 AM CDT Thu Oct 2 2025

The weather this weekend looks similar even with large shifts in the
pattern around us. A large upper trough will lift into the Plains
helping to squash the ridge over our region (although it remains in
some form). While temperatures don`t budge much and stay well above
normal, the biggest change will be increasing southerly winds. The
ridge repositions itself over TX early next week helping to relax
the winds, but keeping dry and warm conditions in place.
