- Rain chances return to the region, particularly Thursday into the weekend when heavier rainfall may be possible.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1241 PM CDT Mon Sep 28 2026

Monday night - Sunday

Upper-lvl ridge will continue to build over the region, keeping northwest flow, dry conditions, and high temps in the low 90s through Wednesday. With ongoing drought conditions and RH values (%) in the mid-20s, a "Limited" fire danger will continue over northern parts of the area. Continue to heed any local burn bans and be cautious of outdoor burning. As the ridge migrates eastward mid- week, southerly flow will push moisture into the area, easing fire weather concerns and increasing RH values through the weekend.

An upper-lvl low from the Southwest region and the absorbed remnants of Hurricane Polo will push a frontal boundary towards the region. Rain chances will return as the frontal boundary approaches Friday, lasting through the weekend. Although hazardous weather is not expected, forecast trends will be monitored as the week progress. 50- 75% probability for rain are expected with the high probability on Sunday (60-75% areawide). WPC estimates rainfall totals of 2-4 inches over the weekend, which would help improve ongoing drought conditions. /SW/
