KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 1042 PM CDT Fri Oct 2 2026

- Fall-like temperatures this weekend will trend unseasonably warm next week.
- No rain is expected Sunday through Friday.
SHORT TERM
(Through Saturday) Issued at 1042 PM CDT Fri Oct 2 2026
Subtle lift beneath an upper-level jet segment will continue in southeast Oklahoma and west-central Arkansas tonight. This pattern will shift a little north on Saturday as the tail of a strong shortwave brushes the area. So the chance of showers shifts a bit north as well for a brief window. That pattern will break down later Saturday and into Saturday night as the shortwave continues southeast.
Pleasant fall temperatures are in store for the area Saturday.
LONG TERM
(Saturday Night through Friday) Issued at 1042 PM CDT Fri Oct 2 2026
Precipitation chances diminish Saturday night as the strong system aloft moves on southeast from the Great Lakes. This will promote drier air spreading into all of our area later Saturday night and Sunday.
Dry weather is forecast Sunday into Friday as faster flow aloft stays north of the area. The upper ridge over the southwestern U.S. will expand a little to the east during the coming week and encourage a warm up with time in the coming days.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1231 AM CDT Sat Oct 3 2026
