.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of tonight)
Issued at 805 PM CDT Tue Sep 2 2025

Showers and thunderstorms are winding down, and should completely
diminish over the next few hours. Skies will clear out overnight,
but this clearing may result in patchy fog across the area,
particularly in areas that had meaningful rain today. If this
occurs, locally reduced visibility could result in travel
concerns. Low temperatures will range from the upper 50s in the
north to the mid 60s in the south.

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Tuesday)
Issued at 1233 PM CDT Tue Sep 2 2025

Dry and warm conditions expected on Wednesday ahead of the next
cold front which passes Wednesday night into Thursday. A corridor
of showers and storms are likely to develop across south central
Plains by late afternoon and spread east southeast through the
evening. Pre frontal instability will quickly wane after sunset
and storms are likely to be on a weakening trend as they spread
into portions northeast Oklahoma during the evening. A short
window may remain for a few stronger storms but widespread severe
weather is unlikely.

A brief dry period expected on Thursday ahead of a stronger cold
front which moves into the region on Friday and clears the
forecast area early Saturday. A notable temp gradient is
expected on Friday across the region with temps ranging from the
mid 70s to lower 90s. Showers and storms likely develop along the
boundary by late afternoon or evening and expand in coverage
during the evening into overnight hours. Current timing has a
clearing trend from north to south during the day Saturday.

Post frontal temps well below normal are forecast to persist into
early next week. Forecast uncertainty increases by early next week
especially with regards to precip chances and potential heavy
rainfall. Temps at or below normal and daily rain chances do
appear likely to continue well into next week.

will be present through the TAF period, beginning to shift to
