SHORT TERM
(Through Friday) Issued at 1135 PM CDT Thu Sep 3 2026
After a slightly "less hot" day in many places Thursday, temperatures will increase once again Friday, with afternoon highs ranging from 98 to 103 degrees. Afternoon heat index values will reach or exceed 105 within the current heat advisory area, and reach 100 to 104 in the rest of the forecast area.
LONG TERM
(Friday Night through Thursday) Issued at 1135 PM CDT Thu Sep 3 2026
There is no real relief from the unseasonable heat in sight, with widespread triple digit highs expected to persist through at least much of next week. Heat headlines will be needed for most if not all of the forecast area from Saturday into next week, and a few spots may see heat index values peak near or just above 110 degrees on some afternoons. Isolated diurnal showers or thunderstorms may occur just about any afternoon Saturday through early next week, especially over the higher terrain areas, but any rainfall will be brief and only provide temporary heat relief. Gusty winds will be possible with any storm that may occur. The rain chances at any one location remain below mentionable levels at this time. Record or near record high temperatures will be likely much of next week.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1219 AM CDT Fri Sep 4 2026
