DISCUSSION

Issued at 1214 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026

Deep upper level troughing remains this weekend over the eastern third of the country, keeping weekend temperatures below normal with highs in the low to mid 50s and lows in the mid to upper 20s. Winds are light as surface high pressure drops southward towards the Quad State. A currently narrow ridge over the Plains broadens through early week. A cutoff upper level low in the Desert Southwest tracks towards the Deep South for early next week, keeping conditions locally dry.

As the broadening surface high moves east early next week, a more southerly flow brings in a warming trend for much of next week, with temperatures returning to normal midweek and then above normal Friday/Saturday. A low pressure system develops in the Front Range around Wednesday, but then tracks to the Upper Midwest. With Gulf moisture disconnecting from this system Thursday, the Quad State should continue to be dry. A subsequent Rocky Mountain system, however, may bring rain chances next weekend.
