.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 130 AM CDT Sun Oct 4 2026

Dry conditions and seasonable temperatures continue today. A dry
cold front provides reinforcing northerly flow and some high
clouds this morning. High pressure pushes eastward through the
Midwest early week, with a ridge axis moving through Tuesday.
The high eventually sets up to our east mid-late week, which
will allow for a more southerly component to winds locally.
Temperatures slowly warm mid to late week with southerly flow
with late week highs into the 80s.

Models are in strong alignment on dry conditions through at
least Friday. Precipitation chances only return next weekend,
with models favoring the Deep South for rain chances but
differing strongly on the type of system, so continued
monitoring will be needed.
