.SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 120 AM CDT Mon Oct 6 2025
Our area will have one more quiet day today, with above normal temperatures. Skies will be sunny to partly cloudy, and highs this afternoon will be mostly in the upper 80s to lower 90s. With a weaker pressure gradient, south to southeast winds will be less than yesterday. A positively tilted upper trough initially extends from Saskatchewan/Manitoba Provinces in Canada across the Great Basin and California, and our area is under weak southwest flow aloft. The northern portion of this trough will make eastward progress today and tonight. At the surface, a weak cold front is expected to move south across much of the Big Country late tonight. The front should be near I-20 by 7 AM Tuesday. Expect winds to be light southeast to east ahead of the front. With the frontal passage in the Big Country late tonight, winds will shift to the north to northeast. For our area, rain chances tonight look too negligible to include a mention in the forecast. Lows tonight will be in the lower to mid 60s, with clear to partly cloudy skies.

.LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 1258 AM CDT Mon Oct 6 2025
Our best chance for rain this week remains Tuesday and Wednesday. With the weakened upper high, we could see a few weak disturbances move through the flow aloft. This combined with the weak surface front could be enough to trigger a few showers and storms Tuesday and Wednesday. A strong surface high will move towards the Great Lakes region Tuesday into Wednesday, this will help push the front into our area, turning our winds more to the northeast. The wind shift, increased cloud cover, and weakened ridge will drop our highs a few degrees for Tuesday and Wednesday. Rain chances remain low (
