.SHORT TERM... (Today through Monday) Issued at 1230 AM CDT SUN SEP 28 2025
Overall dry conditions are expected through Monday, with the ridge remaining in control and high pressure at the surface. Temperatures will continue to climb each day with mid to upper 80s and a few low 90s in the southwest. We will see some moisture in the east on Monday as a piece of energy tries to move into the area from the east. Went ahead and including some isolated showers or storms in the afternoon across the east, but these will likely be brief and not provide any relief to current drought conditions.

.LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Saturday) Issued at 1230 AM CDT SUN SEP 28 2025
Long term continues to provide some high uncertainties in regards to tropical mischief and to what extent our weather will be influenced. What seems fairly apparent will be the above normal temperatures through at least Tuesday. Summer just will not keep from peaking its head out.
On Wednesday and Thursday we should see a little more in cloud cover with any outer fringes of the tropical system in the Atlantic. It does appear (at least synoptically) that we should be an area where there will at least be some low chances of rainfall Wednesday into Thursday, but with the drought factors and model discrepancies it appears that the model guidance will remain dry, at least until the short term CAMS begin to pick up the features and we start to see the meso-scale factors

.AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 600 AM CDT SUN SEP 28 2025
VFR conditions expected through the next 24 to 30 hours. Wind will be less than 10 knots in the afternoon from the northeast along with some fair weather cumulus clouds.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Organized rain chances remain dependent on the tropics, with rain chances currently remaining limited in the forecast. MinRH values will generally be split east/west, with low-40s west, and low-50s east. However, MinRH values could climb by Thursday, as moisture begins to stream back into the region. Otherwise, look for drought conditions to persist, and continue for the foreseeable future.
