.NEAR TERM...
(Through Tuesday)
Issued at 1249 AM CDT Tue Oct 6 2026

Light variable winds will start increasing southerly by mid-morning
then further veering southwesterly by late morning around 10-15 mph
gusting 15-20 mph going into the afternoon.  Our clear night skies
and light winds will enhance cooling into the upper 50s although
still slightly warmer than normal for early October nights.  Drier
surface air is in place across most of our forecast area.  However
Oklahoma Mesonet & airport terminal observations showing a pool of
higher surface moisture to near 60 degree dewpoints across
southcentral Oklahoma to south of the Red River into northern Texas,
although further moisture advection unlikely during the early
morning hours due to light winds.  As a result, a "wet" dew to
patchy radiation fog may develop over this moister area by mid-
morning as it likely cools down to the dewpoints. Some of the
ensemble guidance are suggesting fog development although latest
CAMs have backed off. Will keep a potential for fog in the forecast
during mid-morning in the aforementioned area due to some certainty.
Otherwise mostly clear sunny skies and breezy during the afternoon
with only thin high Cirrus coming through the ridge scattering over
southwest Oklahoma along with unseasonably warm temperatures with
highs in the mid to upper 80s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tuesday night through Thursday night)
Issued at 1249 AM CDT Tue Oct 6 2026

The main upper jet will continue flowing across much of the northern
half of the country while the Southern Plains will remain in weak
flow under a positively tilted ridge.  This will keep our area dry
and unseasonably hotter with up to lower 90`s high temperatures
creeping into parts of our forecast area.  The pressure gradient
does weaken on Wednesday & Thursday as high surface pressure builds
in keeping winds lighter and variable in direction for both days.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 1249 AM CDT Tue Oct 6 2026

A fairly persistent unseasonably hot & dry forecast at the end of
the week going into the weekend.  There will likely be a tropical
system coming ashore from the Gulf Coast which may track up the
Mississippi Delta Region staying east of our forecast area. The only
impact from this post-tropical system may be some cloud cover in
eastern Oklahoma.  However we could see some weather changes
impacting our area around the middle of next week.

afternoon. Winds will be from the S and SW this afternoon before

are expected to veer back to the S and SW Wednesday.
