KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 604 PM CDT Mon Oct 5 2026

- Warm and mostly dry through the week.

SHORT TERM

(This afternoon through Tuesday) Issued at 1012 AM CDT Mon Oct 5 2026

Cloud cover is again slow to depart this morning, however clearing is expected this afternoon, with highs similar to yesterday ranging from the mid 70s to the west and mid 80s off the Caprock. Skies should remain generally clear overnight with slightly drier low-to- mid level moisture eroding. As such, lows east of I-27 will be a bit cooler than previous nights falling into the mid 50s to near 60. Drier air will persist into Tuesday and light winds will switch to southwesterly bringing warmer highs from the low 80s to near 90 off the Caprock.

LONG TERM

(Tuesday night through next Sunday) Issued at 1012 AM CDT Mon Oct 5 2026

Temperatures will increase a degree or two on Wednesday, but overall conditions will remain very similar to Tuesday with no change to the upper pattern. A weak disturbance will track to our south and west on Thursday potentially leading to some isolated showers and thunderstorms, however confidence remains low as ECMWF keeps the QPF well to the south. Conditions look to remain dry into the weekend as a ridge builds to the west.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 604 PM CDT Mon Oct 5 2026

VFR is expected through the TAF period. Light easterly winds this evening will swing around to the southwest by Tuesday afternoon.
