DISCUSSION

Issued at 1203 AM CDT Wed Jul 22 2026

Surface high pressure will pass by to the north today into Friday providing much drier and cooler conditions. High temperatures today will only rise into the low to mid 80s, and upper 70s to low 80s on Thursday and Friday. Lows will drop into the 60s. A shortwave moving out of the plains will bring rain chances (30-50%) back into the region on Friday into Saturday morning. PWs climb back above 2" so heavy rain may be something to keep an eye on. Behind the shortwave, upper level ridging expands across the plains with the region on the eastern periphery of the ridge. Temperatures will rise back into the 90s along with an increase in humidity.
