.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 210 PM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024

Clear skies and light winds will continue through this evening under
an upper ridge, with high temperatures today reaching the mid-to-
upper 80s and overnight lows in the mid-to-upper 50s. Sunny skies
will persist Friday and rising upper heights will allow for slightly
warmer temperatures, potentially near 90 in some locations.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 210 PM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024

Upper level high pressure will remain anchored to the west of the
forecast area with generally warm temperatures and dry conditions
through the forecast period. Meanwhile, the remnants of Helene will
remain well east of the region with no effect on the forecast area.
Progged geopotential heights continue to run near 590 dam at the 500
mb level which should result in warmer than normal high temperatures
and near normal low temperatures given the clear skies and dry air
mass in place across the forecast area. The exception could be
Tuesday with the potential for a cold front to move through the
southern High Plains, although given the lingering strength of the
upper ridge and the parent mid/upper level energy being well to the
north any effect on temperatures will likely be brief and modest.
