DISCUSSION

(This afternoon through Monday) Issued at 113 PM CDT TUE OCT 20 2026

This is a great stretch of autumn conditions! Fair weather featuring a clear/mostly clear sky and seasonable temperatures (mild/warm afternoons and cool mornings) continues into next week.

At this time, a majority of GFS/ECMWF ensemble members suggest it's not until early November that we see at least some chance for precipitation.
