.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 225 PM CDT Fri Oct 2 2026

Mainly light isolated to scattered showers have occurred this
afternoon but most locations have remained dry. Cloud cover has
held temperatures in the 70s and lower 80s which is below normal
for the beginning of October. For tonight expect additional
showers and thunderstorms to develop across the area as a weak
upper level shear axis remains overhead. The greatest coverage
will likely be focused across the Heartland and northwest Hill
Country near a stationary frontal boundary. Showers and storms
will linger into the afternoon hours before decreasing in the
evening. While widespread heavy rainfall is not expected, some
localized heavy rain amounts of 1-2 inches is possible especially
across our southeastern counties. Otherwise, it will feel much
more like fall on Saturday, with highs generally in the mid 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Friday)

southern counties. The rest of next week will see dry conditions
and gradually warming temperatures as mid level ridging builds
in. Highs will climb into the mid to upper 80s by Tuesday and
Wednesday, with some lower 90s possible in the Big Country.
