.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 232 AM CDT Fri Sep 18 2026

Hot and dry weather will persist across the area again today,
as a strong upper level ridge remains in place across the region.
Temperatures will remain above normal, with highs this afternoon
in the mid and upper 90s. Expect warm and humid conditions again
tonight, with overnight lows mainly in the 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 1238 AM CDT Fri Sep 18 2026

A strong high pressure ridge currently sitting across the
southeastern U.S. will shift to the west. This will leave our area
closer to the center of the high pressure. As a result, hot and dry
conditions will continue through the end of the work week. By Sunday
and Monday, a couple of embedded disturbances aloft will cruise
through the region. This will act to weaken the ridge and allow for
a medium chance (30-50%) for rain. A weak cold frontal boundary may
be just strong enough to drop temperatures a few degrees early next
weeks. Highs appear to be in the lower 90s during this timeframe.
