SHORT TERM

(Through Sunday) Issued at 1144 PM CDT Sat Oct 10 2026

Another unseasonably warm day is on tap Sunday, with afternoon high temperatures once again reaching the upper 80s to lower 90s despite some high level cloudiness drifting over the area. Gusty south winds will develop, which will raise fire weather concerns, especially across parts of northeast Oklahoma.

LONG TERM

(Sunday Night through Saturday) Issued at 1144 PM CDT Sat Oct 10 2026

The unseasonable warmth will continue Monday and Tuesday, with near record high temperatures expected. Gusty south winds will continue, with heightened fire weather concerns at least on Monday. A substantial increase in humidity values Tuesday along with increased cloud cover will likely keep fire weather concerns in check compared to Monday.

Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected Tuesday night through Thursday in association with an upper trough over the western U.S. and a stalled out frontal boundary near the Oklahoma/Kansas border. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible, especially across the northern part of the forecast area, and a limited severe weather threat may also develop during this time frame. A stronger cold front will then push south across the area late Thursday and Thursday night, with rain chances diminishing following the frontal passage.

Much cooler and drier weather will follow this front Friday into next weekend, with temperatures near or even a bit below the seasonal averages.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 616 AM CDT Sun Oct 11 2026
