High pressure holds dry and warm weather into the first half of
the weekend, although high clouds will increase and thicken.
That occurs in advance of our first rain chance in awhile. The
best chance of rain still looks to be between midnight Saturday
night and midday Sunday, when the bulk of the 1/4 to 3/4 inches
of cumulative rains should fall.

After this weekend, daily rain chances carry thru next week,
with the best such chances Tuesday into Wednesday. That is when
the bulk of the 3/4 to 1.5 inches cumulative rain falls over
that time period, with some isolated higher totals upward to 2
inches possible farther west (Ozarks).

The onset of these rain chances means temperatures are driven
back closer to seasonal norms with daily highs next week ranging
from the upper half 60s to lower 70s. Adding to the more
seasonal autumnal feel will be breezier winds with the
aforementioned parent storm system`s approach, arrival, and
departure during the mid week period.

Issued at 1118 PM CDT Fri Oct 30 2026

High-level clouds will thicken on Saturday as a storm system
approaches the region. While VFR conditions will prevail, low
cigs begin to build in from the west at the end of the TAF
period as the column begins to saturate with increasing rain
chances. Winds on Saturday will be ESE around 6-7 kts.
