.KEY MESSAGES...

  temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above normal.

.SHORT TERM... /Issued 109 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025/
/This Afternoon through Wednesday Night/
Visible satellite imagery shows an expanding cumulus field mainly
south of I-20 where low level moisture convergence has increased
along and ahead of a cold front. While the wind shift has
generally spread south of I-20, the actual frontal boundary is
likely still across our northwest counties where a notable
temp/dewpoint drop is observed. Scattered showers have developed
south of I-20 and this trend will likely continue through the
afternoon as the front continues to move south. A lack of stronger
forcing for ascent will keep the coverage of showers around 10% or
less with most areas not seeing much rainfall. Ever so slightly
cooler but drier air will continue to spread south into tonight
and Wednesday. Overnight lows will drop to near 60 in our
northwest with mid 60s elsewhere tonight. Highs on Wednesday will
range from the low to mid 80s along and north of I-20 with upper
80s across our southern counties.

.LONG TERM... /Issued 109 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025/
/Thursday through Monday/
Anomalous ridging across the central CONUS will persist through
the remainder of the week and into the weekend resulting in
continued above normal temperatures. High temperatures will run
5-10 degrees above normal with readings in the mid to upper 80s.
A tightening pressure gradient this weekend will lead to increased
southerly wind speeds but this southerly fetch will remain dry and
with above normal temperatures, we will likely see at least some
increase in grass fire starts west of I-35. By early next week,
troughing will spread into the Intermountain West with a cold
front expected to move south into the Plains. Increasing Pacific
moisture will likely lead to scattered showers and storms along
this front, but right now it looks like the bulk of the activity
will remain to our north. Otherwise, no significant pattern
changes appear to be on the horizon anytime in the next week to 10
days.

.AVIATION... /NEW/
/00Z TAFs/
Daytime showery activity is expected to come to an end by 01Z.
Coverage is too low (10-15%) to include in TAFs, so will keep VFR
conditions and prevailing NNE-NE flow (020-060) through this TAF
forecast period at all TAF sites.
