Drier with cooler evening and overnight periods through Tuesday. Fog is possible across the river valleys each morning. Low to medium rain and storm chances, mainly mid week, with seasonal temperatures that continue into next weekend. Yeah! Whoa-oh! Listen up, baby! Got that broad drier air ridin' northwesterly flow High pressure to our north puttin' on a real show Step outside tonight, honey, feel that crisp breeze Stable conditions gonna bring you to your knees, yeah River valley fog rollin' in each morning, real sweet Got cooler overnights takin' off the afternoon heat You know I like it steady, you know I like it cool So come on over, darling, don't be nobody's fool Whoa-oh! Nothing's gonna rain on us tonight! Whoa-oh! Northwesterly flow makes it feel so right! We got high pressure north and the party's on the street Yeah, cooler evenings through Tuesday! Cooler evenings through Tuesday! Mid-week troff out east, shortwaves on the prowl Lower Mississippi moisture gonna make the night howl Modest mid-level flow, yeah, maybe some rain But right now, baby, I'm runnin' this train River valley fog rollin' in each morning, real sweet Got cooler overnights takin' off the afternoon heat You know I like it steady, you know I like it cool So come on over, darling, don't be nobody's fool Whoa-oh! Nothing's gonna rain on us tonight! Whoa-oh! Northwesterly flow makes it feel so right! We got high pressure north and the party's on the street Yeah, cooler evenings through Tuesday! Cooler evenings through Tuesday! Yeah! Drier air aloft, honey! No mentionable rain in the short term! Just you and me under that high pressure sky! Whoa-oh! Yeah! Cooler evenings through Tuesday!

- Drier with cooler evening and overnight periods through Tuesday.
Fog is possible across the river valleys each morning.
- Low to medium rain and storm chances, mainly mid week, with seasonal temperatures that continue into next weekend.
SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Monday) Issued at 1145 AM CDT Sun Aug 23 2026
Water vapor imagery shows a broad area of drier air aloft and northwesterly flow across the region and we finally got a taste of cooler, drier air this morning behind the front that moved through last night.
This is a welcomed air mass which will promote continued stable conditions and cooler evenings and overnights through Monday as high pressure moves to our north.
We currently do not have any mentionable rain chances through the short-term as a result.
LONG TERM
(Monday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 1145 AM CDT Sun Aug 23 2026
Medium-range guidance and ensembles suggest little change in the background weather pattern through the upcoming week.
Generally speaking, ridging will remain out west with a trough across the east.
However, the trough should slowly move east mid to late week which will allow for a bit of moisture return from the Lower Mississippi Valley.
This will foster showers and a few thunderstorms mid week.
Better coverage of convection is possible with passing shortwaves progged during this timeframe and we'll have to see if we get any severe weather since we'll remain in modest mid-level flow.
Too early to tell right now.
Overall the temperature forecast is pretty close to seasonal norms mid to late week and guidance is on the drier side late week into next weekend.
