DISCUSSION

Issued at 103 PM CDT Wed Sep 23 2026

An upper ridge will amplify from the southern plains into the upper midwest through the end of the week. Meanwhile, a trough will dig along the east coast sending a back door cold front through the area this evening and overnight. This will bring a drier and slightly cooler airmass into the area for the end of the week into the weekend. An isolated shower or storm is possible this evening across interior areas as the front moves in, however most areas will remain dry. A dry northwest flow aloft prevails through the end of the week. By early next week, the ridge weakens as a shortwave digs across the plains states. Increasing moisture and a weakening upper ridge will bring rain chances back into the area for the start of next week.

Highs will generally be in the mid to upper 80s and lows in the lower to middle 60s late week into the weekend. Friday night into Saturday morning will likely be the coolest night as lows over the interior may dip into the upper 50s. /13
