Day
SHORT TERM
(Thursday through Friday night) Issued at 128 PM CDT Wed Oct 21 2026
Warmer than normal weather will continue Thursday and Friday (highs in upper 70s to lower 80s) with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. Afternoon winds will become a bit more breezy particularly in northwest Oklahoma on Friday (15 to 20 mph, gusting to 30 mph).
Day
LONG TERM
(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 139 AM CDT Wed Oct 21 2026
The previously mentioned upper trough is expected to continue to approach the area over the weekend and move into the southern Plains early next week. Models also show a cold front moving across the area early next week. This system will bring a chance for showers and maybe some storms starting this weekend and continuing into next week with the earliest and highest chances over western portions of the fa. The amount of moisture with this system does not look as abundant so rainfall amounts are not expected to be as high as the last couple of rain events the fa has experienced but some locations in western parts of the area may see rainfall totals of 1-1.5 inches.
Temperatures will remain warm and above average through the weekend with highs in the 70s to low 80s. Temperatures are then expected to cool early next week due to the cold front, clouds, and rain with highs in the 60s and some 70s.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1105 AM CDT Wed Oct 21 2026
VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. Winds will remain light and out of the south-southeast through Thursday morning.
