.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 158 PM CDT Wed Sep 25 2024

Strong well amplified high pressure will continue over the Four
Corners and take a slight positive tilt this evening, before
broadening across the southwest CONUS by Friday. The overall story
of this setup is that we`ll remain in the 80s with winds 5-15 mph
out the south and dry through Thursday night. Given the recovery
from the previous cold front, and increased night time
radiational cooling, our overnight lows are now right around
normal in the lower to mid 50s.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 158 PM CDT Wed Sep 25 2024

High pressure continues to dominate the extended. However, we do
have a weak frontal system that`s expected to clip the Panhandles
on Tuesday. Prior to that front it looks like carbon copy days
with highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s. Sunday into early next
week an upper level trough will move across the northern CONUS and
will only start to deepen and amplify after it crosses the
Rockies. The focus of the colder airmass will be over the Great
Lakes Region, but there will be enough of an airmass change to
clip the Panhandles and keep our highs in the mid 70s to mid 80s
on Tuesday. This system will rapidly exit mid next week and we`ll
once again be replaced by another area of high pressure leading to
temperature`s going back up.
