445 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Light winds are expected through the weekend as high pressure
remains in control and the pressure gradient remains weak. A more
substantial south wind may develop next week as a low pressure
system tries to organize over the central Plains. Relative
humidity values are expected to drop to the 30-40% range this
afternoon before increasing to the 40-50% range over the weekend.
No rain is anticipated into the middle of next week outside of a
few sprinkles tonight.
