Issued at 333 PM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025

A few sprinkles remain possible this afternoon across portions of
the area. A weak shortwave moving through the region may kick off a
few additional sprinkles this evening. Expect temperatures to be
primarily in the low to mid-80s this afternoon.

Thursday and Friday, a ridge sets up over the Great Plains with a
trough over the West Coast. Expect a gradual warming trend with
temperatures returning to the upper 80s to low 90s Friday afternoon.
Dry conditions will persist during this timeframe.

Friday night, the trough digs southeast, amplifying the ridge and
pushing it east. Southwest flow will return to the area Saturday
along with a tightening pressure gradient. Saturday will be windy
with southerly winds around 25-30 mph and a few gusts up to 40 mph.
The trough will lift northeast through the day, bringing some weak
forcing to the region. A few showers may kick off in the evening and
overnight.

A cold front swings south through the region overnight, bringing
cooler temperatures to the region by Monday and chances for showers
and a few isolated thunderstorms.
