-Dry weather with gradual warming trends back into the 70s to low
 80s by the second half of the weekend and into next week.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Sunday night)
Issued at 1155 PM CDT Fri Oct 31 2025

The broad scale weather system will slowly move eastward today and
Sunday allowing a broad ridge to slowly settle across the southern
plains. For today the panhandles remains on the western fringes of
the broad weather system continuing the cold northerly flow. This
will keep the temperatures below normal today with morning lows
starting off around freezing. Once the panhandles falls under the
influence of the ridge of high pressure on Sunday the cold
northerly flow will end. We will see temperatures rise by 10 to 15
degrees becoming above normal. A lack of moisture will see both
Saturday and Sunday remain sunny with dry weather.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 1155 PM CDT Fri Oct 31 2025

Monday through early Thursday has a high chance for the broad
ridge to remain across the southern plains. This will generally
keep dry and warmer than normal conditions across the panhandles
during this time. A small exception will be on Monday when a weak
small weather system pushes a dry cold front across the northern
portions of the panhandles. This would bring a drop in the
temperatures back to near normal for at least the northern
panhandles. Come Thursday there is a moderate chance that the
ridge of high pressure is degraded by the passage of a weather
system. At this time this weather system has higher chances of
being dry which would limit its impacts to an increase in the
winds on Thursday. The cold front associated with this system has
the best chances of passing across the region late in the day so
any drop in the temperatures would most likely occur on Friday
rather than Thursday.
