(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 157 AM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
Heading into Saturday, the pattern begins to shift as the ridge that
has brought the warmth for this week will be pushed to the east as a
deep trough moves into the Western US. Temperatures to end the week
and into this weekend will gradually drop to near normal with most
in the upper 80s to low 90s. Rain chances make a return as the
southern edge of the upper trough skims across the northern and
western peripheries of the CWA. Low(20-40%) rain chances will be
seen through the weekend for areas west of Midland/Odessa with less
than 20% chances to the east as the trough rolls through the Rockies
and into the Plains. By Monday, the trough departs to the northeast
and rain chances fall back to under 10% and remain that low into the
middle of next week. Temperatures look to sit around normal near 90F
during the day and 60s overnight.
