Issued at 1157 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
BLUF: Pleasant weather today with sunny skies, light winds and warm
temperatures.
The upper ridge will move over the Plains today with a
surface high over the Southern Plains. Sinusoidal flow will persist
across the northern CONUS and Canada with a shortwave bringing weak
lee troughing along the Rockies. Southerly warm surface flow and
mostly clear skies will give way to above-average temperatures in
the 80s. However, some high clouds may move in from the west today
with increasing mid-level moisture ahead of a cut-off low over
southern Cali.

.SHORT TERM...
(Friday night through Saturday night)
Issued at 1157 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
BLUF: Warm, above-average temperatures with no precipitation chances
through the weekend.
The weak shortwave in the sinusoidal flow to the
north will move across the Plains Saturday morning and bring a weak
front through Kansas that will remain north of Oklahoma. An upper
ridge will move across the Plains Saturday in the wake of the
shortwave. The surface high will continue to spin over northern
Arkansas with warm southerly surface flow across Oklahoma and high
temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Sunday, the upper ridge
will strengthen and build eastward over the Midwest with the cut-off
low becoming absorbed in the main flow to the north. The surface
high will begin to build northeast with east-southeast surface flow
and slightly cooler temperatures than Saturday in the mid to upper
80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through next Thursday)
Issued at 1157 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
Next week will feature continue warm, near to slightly above-normal
temperatures and low chances for precipitation through the week.
Early this week, a potential tropical system may make landfall on
the East Coast and keep the upper ridge over the Midwest. Thus, the
surface high will continue to bring east-southeasterly winds to
Oklahoma and closer to near-normal temperatures in the 80s. However,
by mid-week the remnant tropical upper low will continue to spin
over the southeast CONUS while an upper ridge builds over northwest
Mexico. Northwesterly flow will return aloft with weak lee troughing
and a return of warm southerly surface flow. Thus, temperatures will
gradually warm mid-week and into the end of the week with highs in
the upper 80s to lower 90s.
