.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday Night)
Issued at 136 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024

Upper-level ridging will continue to dominate the short-term, as
it will move directly overhead by tomorrow afternoon. In turn, the
forecast will very much be copy and paste for the next few days.
Highs tomorrow will range in the mid-70s to low 80s, with
overnight lows remaining in the low-40s to low-50s.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 136 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024

Upper-level ridging will continue to flatten out, as the closed
low pressure over the Rockies begins to eject East on Monday. In
turn, afternoon highs will continue to climb, potentially reaching
90 degrees in some locations by Wednesday. This closed low will be
absorbed by the larger troughing pattern over the Midwest, which
will then begin swinging SE by Thursday morning. A cold front will
trail this trough into the Plains, eventually stalling just to the
north of our region. Because of this, only a few of our northern
zones could see their temperatures drop, with most of the region
remaining in the mid to upper-80s into next weekend.

Little to no precipitation over the next week remains likely.
