Discussion
(Thursday through next Wednesday) Issued at 1043 PM CDT WED OCT 21 2026
Dry and very pleasant weather continues the next 7 days. Mid- level ridging builds eastward over the area the next couple days. A cold air damming (CAD) wedge builds in Friday through the weekend in the wake of Subtropical Storm Josephine, resulting in slightly cooler high temperatures over the weekend. High temperatures trend upward slightly next week as the wedge weakens and a weakening shortwave trough and front approach the area. With little to no moisture return due to persistent high pressure at the surface, the forecast remains dry next week.

Fire Weather
High pressure will allow us to maintain rain-free conditions with light winds for the rest of the week. Daytime MinRH values are forecast to be in the 20 to 35 percent range. Winds pick up slightly over the weekend. Given MinRH values and drying fuels, fire weather concerns will remain medium into the weekend.
