.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday) 
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Fri Oct 16 2026

Gusty northerly winds left in the wake of yesterday's cold front  
will linger through early this evening before gradually
diminishing overnight tonight into Saturday. A Wind Advisory
remains in place through 7PM tonight for northerly winds around 15
to 25 mph with gusts as high as 45 mph. Cold overnight low 
temperatures will also linger through the weekend, with lows each 
morning dipping into the mid 30s to mid 40s for Saturday and 
Sunday. Models continue to keep afternoon highs tomorrow in the
upper 50s to mid 60s. Unfortunately, this airmass behind the front
is much drier than previous days, so there is little to no chance
for precipitation in the forecast through the weekend.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Fri Oct 16 2026

After a chilly start to the weekend, below normal and cooler 
temperatures this weekend will begin to gradually trend warmer and
closer to seasonal normals by mid next week. Winds are expected to
become light and variable with skies remain clear Saturday night
into Sunday morning, providing a good setup for radiational 
cooling. This would cause overnight lows to fall into the mid 30s
to lower 40s across most of the area. Low-lying areas and river 
valleys may drop into the mid 30s, which could bring the potential
for a light frost being experience across these areas that see the
coldest temperatures. 

A steady warm up will continue into the end of next week as
upper-level ridging redevelops across the areas mid to late next 
week. High temperatures are expected to gradually rise into the 
mid 70s to mid 80s by mid week, and into the 80s by next Friday. 
Dry conditions are forecast to continue through much of the work 
week next week.
