.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 141 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2026

High pressure is overhead today bringing us mostly clear skies
and light southeasterly winds near 10 mph. Today`s high
temperatures will be about 10 degrees above normal this time of
year, reaching the upper 70s to lower 80s across the area.
Tonight, skies remain clear, and lows dip into the upper 40s to

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 141 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2026

High pressure will stick around through the weekend and through
most of next week, keeping our weather steady state.
Southwesterly flow returns early next week as high pressure over
the SE CONUS starts to push east. This will bring down our
temperatures just a bit by a couple of degrees by mid-week.
Though, temperatures will still be around 5 to 10 degrees above
normal for this time of year. No rain is in the forecast until
the end of next week, near Halloween. This is when our next
pattern change moves into the area with an incoming cold front
brining us widespread rainfall. Until then, highs will be in the
mid to upper 70s with lows in the 50s with wind gusts staying
around 15 mph or less through the next several days.
