Low to medium thunderstorm chances this afternoon and evening. There is a low chance of strong wind gusts with storms mainly along the plateau. Seasonable temperatures will warm into the mid nineties next week with mostly dry conditions. Yeah, the morning stratus is mixing on out Got scattered cumulus popping up around the south A dirty surface boundary coming down from the northeast Rolling through the afternoon, turning up the beast She is sliding southeastward, looking for a fight I love a little trouble in the mid-day light Storms along the line, scattered and mean Unorganized chaos, the sweetest scene you have seen Downburst coming hot, blowing down the ridge Shaking every timber on the Cumberland bridge We are riding that boundary down the line Strong wind gusts tearing up the pine Watch the thunder rock, watch the lightning sport Nothing gonna stop us till the loss of diurnal support Friday dew points dropping down a couple of degrees Drier air settling into the trees Upper air pattern gonna shift on Saturday Pushing that upper troffing far, far away Upper high coming out of the plains real slick I am strutting through the heat wave, taking my pick Mid-nineties warming up early next week Humidity creeping for the trouble that I seek No organized rain coming down the tract Just pure scalar heat and a swagger intact We are riding that boundary down the line Strong wind gusts tearing up the pine Watch the thunder rock, watch the lightning sport Nothing gonna stop us till the loss of diurnal support Yeah, the sun goes down and the fire clears Loss of diurnal support! We ride the storm out! Yeah!

KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 1031 AM CDT Thu Aug 27 2026
- Low to medium thunderstorm chances this afternoon and evening.
There is a low chance of strong wind gusts with storms mainly along the plateau.
- Seasonable temperatures will warm into the mid 90s next week with mostly dry conditions.
SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Friday) Issued at 1031 AM CDT Thu Aug 27 2026
The morning fog and low stratus are close to being mixed out across the area and some scattered areas of cumulus are beginning to pop up. There is a surface boundary just northeast of the area.
That boundary will move southeastward through the area during the afternoon.
Scattered showers and storms will develop along and ahead of the boundary.
Storms will be less organized than yesterday, but strong wind gusts particularly along the plateau cannot be ruled out during the afternoon/evening hours.
Any activity will dissipate with the loss of diurnal support.
Behind the boundary, dew points and temperatures will be a couple of degrees lower on Friday.
With the drier air, diurnal storms are not anticipated.
LONG TERM
(Friday Night through next Thursday) Issued at 1031 AM CDT Thu Aug 27 2026
The upper air pattern will begin to shift on Saturday as the upper high pushes eastward out of the plains and pushes the upper troughing east of our area.
This will result in warming temperatures through the weekend.
Dew points look tolerable through the weekend with values mainly in the 60s.
The humidity looks like it will creep up at the beginning of next week with temperatures continuing to climb toward the mid 90s.
As far as rain chances, there are not any organized rain chances in the extended forecast and the chances for diurnal activity looks very low as well.
