Lyrics

Patchy fog again tonight.
Seasonal highs today with a warming trend over the weekend, becoming hot next week, with highs in the low to upper nineties.
Low to no rain chances.

The dew points linger in the sixties, a silent shroud before the suffocating end.
Cumulus clouds drift through the eighties, holding back the burning skies for one last hour.

THE WESTERN RIDGE RISES!
IT DRIVES THE TROFFING TO THE EAST!
THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THIS PARKING HEAT!

Patchy fog settles over the dying grass tonight, obscuring the horizon before the slow warm up begins.
Highs on Saturday will climb three to four degrees warmer as the sky strips away every promise of rain.
The ridge takes its seat upon the throne of the atmosphere, locking us inside an endless season.
The humidity remains reasonable only to mock the parched dirt waiting for water that will never fall.

No relief in the sky!
Summer will not die!
No relief in the sky!
Summer will not die!

We are moving into September, but the heat remains sovereign.
The skies dry out into empty silence.

Temperatures top out in the eighties today before the crushing weight descends across the plains.
The upper troffing is forced to flee into the eastern ocean, leaving us trapped beneath the suffocating dome.
Low to no rain chances through the entire horizon, a void that consumes every morning prayer.
The ridge expands, a slow creeping death of light, burning away the autumn before it can bloom.

WE ARE NOT DONE WITH SUMMER!
THE DOME LOCKS OVER US!
SUMMER WILL NOT DIE!
SUMMER WILL NOT DIE!

- Low to no rain chances.

SHORT TERM

(Rest of today through Saturday) Issued at 1041 AM CDT Fri Aug 28 2026

After some patchy fog this morning, we are just seeing some cumulus this morning.

Dew points are in the 60s and temperatures will top out in the 80s this afternoon.

We'll see some more patchy fog overnight before we start the slow warm up. The upper air pattern begins to shift on Saturday as the western ridge shoves the upper troughing currently over our area to the east.

Highs on Saturday will be 3-4 degrees warmer than today but humidity will continue to be reasonable.

LONG TERM

(Saturday Night through next Friday) Issued at 1041 AM CDT Fri Aug 28 2026

The ridge will continue to build to start the week with temperatures climbing into the mid 90s during the early part of the week.

The ridge will park over the area by mid to late week with highs getting into the upper 90s for a large part of the area.

As far as rain, very low to low diurnal chances will be possible through the week with chances slightly favoring the plateau.

Bottom line of the forecast, we may be moving into September, but we are certainly not done with summer.
