-  Fog, which can be dense, has the potential to form anywhere in

  night and Friday, and Sunday night and Monday.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday night)
Issued at 1155 PM CDT Mon Oct 26 2026

The weather system has departed the area with the flow gradually
becoming more southwesterly for both today and Wednesday. This
will lead to more stable and dry conditions for the panhandles for
both days. However, there is still ample low level moisture across
the panhandles from the weather system`s rainfall. This has the
potential to cause foggy conditions both this morning and again on
Wednesday. This fog can be dense and pose a travel hazard if
encountered, so use caution if it encountered. Temperatures will
be on the rise for both today and Wednesday with highs mainly in
the 70s to even the low 80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through next Monday)
Issued at 1155 PM CDT Mon Oct 26 2026

The pattern continues to shift going into Thursday with a large
scale trough deepening across western CONUS. Within the flow of
this large scale trough a smaller weather system will push across
Mexico and eject into the southern plains. In doing so this system
will draw up moisture into the panhandles starting on Thursday.
The moisture coupled with the weather system will bring about the
next round of rain showers and thunderstorms for the panhandles.
The weather system is most likely to reach its peak late on
Thursday through Friday morning. Just as fast as it arrived this
weather system will most likely depart eastward late Friday. This
would allow for a small window of calmer weather Saturday into
early Sunday. The next weather system has an increasing chance of
impacting the southern plains Sunday into Monday bringing a
further round of rain showers and thunderstorms. This period of
active weather will also more likely than not lead to a drop in
the temperatures. However, there doesn`t seem to be any pushes of
cold air so even with a drop in the temperatures it will most
likely still remain above normal. So we are still waiting on the
first snow of the season.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 616 AM CDT Tue Oct 27 2026

As of this morning, present satellite and ground observations
were seeing patchy fog form across the Panhandles with visibility
ranging anywhere form 4 to half a mile. Currently this fog is
only impacting KAMA and KDHT with both reporting visibility drops
into the MVFR range while KAMA is currently seeing LIFR CIGs.
These conditions are likely to last through the early morning with
an earliest ending time of around 10 AM CDT. After which, drier
conditions should see all site clear for the afternoon with VFR
conditions expected to hold into the late night hours.
