SHORT TERM

(Through tonight ) Issued at 1145 AM CDT Thu Oct 8 2026

It is another dry and abnormally warm day across the region as high pressure continues to dominate. Highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s can once again be expected areawide with light E to SE winds. Calm conditions persist into tonight with temperatures similar to last night, generally within a few degrees of 60 (mid 50s possible in sheltered valley locations).

LONG TERM

(Tomorrow through Thursday) Issued at 1145 AM CDT Thu Oct 8 2026

High pressure/mid-level ridging will continue to be the primary influence on our weather through this weekend. High temperatures remain nearly steady in the upper 80s and lower 90s, falling to into the 50s and 60s overnight. Moisture associated with Hurricane Isaias should still remain east of the local area, though the western periphery may provide some increase in clouds across W AR Saturday. High pressure slides slightly eastward over the weekend, allowing for an increase in southerly winds, especially across NE OK. This will promote at least limited fire weather conditions, especially along and west of Hwy 75 in NE OK. Mid-upper level ridging will then reintensify over the Southern Plains Sunday and Monday. The net effect will be more of the same, with well above average temperatures, dry conditions, and breezy afternoon winds promoting limited fire weather concerns. Meanwhile, low pressure will extend southward along the West Coast and merge with what is currently Tropical Storm Rachel in the eastern Pacific.

By Tuesday, this trough will move eastward, with the remnants of current tropical storm Simon potentially advecting north-northeast within the flow. The timing and phasing of each of these systems will be important to determining exact impacts to our area next week. Rain/thunderstorm chances may begin as early as Tuesday for our area, with higher potential Wednesday and Thursday as a cold front impinges on the region. Details will become more clear over the coming days, but a pattern change does appear likely next week resulting in higher rain chances and cooler temperatures.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1145 AM CDT Thu Oct 8 2026

VFR conditions and light south or southeast winds will continue through the TAF period. There is low potential for brief, MVFR fog at KFYV around sunrise Friday morning, but confidence was too low to mention in the TAF at this time.
