Sunday and Monday will feature slowly warming temperatures (highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s), partly to mostly cloudy skies, and low rain chances along the western fringe of our forecast area (driven by upslope flow) as the upper trough departs and ridging begins to move in.

.LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Friday) Issued at 1232 AM CDT Sat Sep 6 2025
The long term forecast will be dominated by an upper ridge, keeping rain chances low and allowing temperatures to return to normal.
