.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Thursday)
Issued at 1145 AM CDT WED SEP 10 2025
Very little change is expected today and tomorrow compared to the
past few days. Temperatures have started a gradual increase with
highs in the mid to upper 80s expected today, increasing to the
upper 80s to low 90s by tomorrow. Mostly clear skies are expected
with a generally dry airmass in place.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 1145 AM CDT WED SEP 10 2025
High pressure will build into the region by the end of the week and
into the weekend as the main upper level trough shifts eastward.
This will lead to a continued pattern of slightly warmer than normal
conditions, though low humidity will keep heat indices very close to
the actual temperatures.
The overall synoptic pattern doesn`t change much through early next
week, so we`ll see continued dry weather with little to no chance
for rain through Tuesday.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1145 AM CDT WED SEP 10 2025
VFR conditions expected through the period. Generally light
easterly winds are in the forecast today, becoming variable to
calm overnight, and increasing again out of the east tomorrow.
25/Owen

.FIRE WEATHER...
The dry and hot weather pattern will continue through our 7 day
forecast period. Min RHs will drop into the 30% range for most of
the area by this afternoon and will persist through the end of the
week. The center of the high pressure will build overhead over
the weekend, leading to slightly higher daytime highs. This will
result in MinRHs dropping into the 25-30% range for many locations
on Saturday. Although values are currently forecast to remain
above critical thresholds, drying soils will likely lead to
expanding drought conditions. Winds should remain generally light
with occasional gusts due to daytime mixing.
