(This evening through Monday) Issued at 1216 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2025 The first cold front should begin working through the region by tonight, with some of our northern zones dropping into the low-60s. However, the real drop in temperatures will begin tomorrow night, and into the long-term. Rain chances will finally begin to diminish as well, as this first cold front removes a lot of the moisture from the region. Until the cooler weather in the long-term, look for afternoon highs on Monday to range in the low to upper-80s. /44/ && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Saturday) Issued at 1216 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2025 The start of the cooler temperatures is finally here, as highs on Tuesday will only range in the upper-70s to mid-80s. There is a least a small change for some showers here, as the second reinforcing cold front moves through the region on Wednesday. Well below average temperatures will linger into the weekend, with the region remaining mostly dry as well. However, rain chances may increase into the weekend, as another front may work its way into the region. /44/ && .AVIATION...
