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. Dew points sitting soft in the sixties. A calm blue afternoon in the eighties. Just cumulus drifting across the light. The quiet before the sky turns tight. The upper air pattern begins to shift. The troffing gives way, a silent rift. Saturday comes three to four degrees warmer. The western ridge pushes from the edge. It shoves the troffing east into memory. We stand together at the morning ledge. Dew points will hold for one more breath! Before the heights begin to swell! The upper air is locking in! A suffocating ceiling over this cell! THE HEAT WILL NOT DIE, WE DROWN IN THE SKY! TEMPERATURES CLIMBING AND NO RAIN IN SIGHT! SUMMER RETAKES EVERY INCH OF THIS GROUND! THE RIDGE IS GOING TO PARK OVER THE AREA! VERY LOW DIURNAL CHANCES! FAVORING ONLY THE PLATEAU! NINETIES BURNING THROUGH THE WEEK! THERE IS NOWHERE LEFT TO GO! WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT DONE! WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT DONE! PARK OVER THE AREA! PARK OVER THE AREA!

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.
