Updated at six twenty-one P.M. Central Daylight Time Thursday August twenty-seventh, twenty twenty-six. Low to medium thunderstorm chances this evening. 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. Ten thirty-one A.M. discussion on the wire Fog mixing out, atmosphere catching fire Surface boundary tracking from the northeast side Cumulus popping where the shadows used to hide Less organized storms moving into the zone Strong wind gusts hit the plateau alone Dew points tolerable, sixty-something degree Upper high pushing east out of the plains to set us free Tough environment fading as the sun goes down Loss of support takes the noise from the town Scattered showers breaking on the front tonight Strong gusts blowing out the daylight light Drier air sinking when the sun retreats Mid 90s heat Friday morning coming with a two degree drop No diurnal storms when the moisture gets stopped Upper troff sliding to the eastern coast High pressure coming in to rule us the most Creeping up humidity by early next week No organized rain for the comfort we seek NINETY-FIVE! Dissipate! Dissipate! Loss of support! Dissipate! Dissipate! Drier air takes the plateau! Cooler for a moment till the high takes hold Shift in the upper air, pattern uncontrolled Mid 90s heat

KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 621 PM CDT Thu Aug 27 2026
- Low to medium thunderstorm chances this evening.
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.
