KEY MESSAGES

- Warm weather continues through Friday with highs in the 70s and a few areas in the low 80s.

- Winds gusting to around 40-45 mph on Friday will be a concern for some limited fire impacts in areas with cured fuels. However, the strongest winds will not be co-located with the lowest RH values.

- Shower and storm chances increase this weekend through Monday (60-80%). Expect a cooling trend from Saturday onward with highs reaching the 50s to low 60s by Tuesday.

LONGER RANGE

Cool autumnal temperatures look to stick around for a while as zonal flow develops by mid-week. The mid-lattitude jet looks to push a parade of disturbances through the northern tier of states keeping temps down and occasional small PoPs... popping. The 6-10 day outlook by the CPC suggests odds lean warmer and wetter for the final days of October 2026 in the Corn Belt.
