Quiet and Warm Weather Continues for Now
December in Review
How to Prevent Wildfires
Looking Back at an Active 2025
We’re looking at a prolonged period of quiet, mostly beautiful weather across the plains, at least for the next 6 days. With high pressure settling in, those heavy coats might be staying in the closet this week as we see highs reaching the 60s and 70s. What to watch for: Outdoor Plans: It’s a great week for hiking or yard work, but remember the ground is extremely dry. Fire Risk: "Light" winds don't mean "zero" risk. Be cautious with cigarettes, trailer chains, and equipment given how dry and dormant the grasses are. Today: Some mid to high level cloud cover will move across the area. Keep an eye out for a stray sprinkle, but you might have better luck counting the sprinkles than actually measuring any rain. There are some signals that things may change in 7 days with a potential for the return of precipitation chances. For now, only looking at up to 20 percent chance next Wednesday into Wednesday evening. A lot can change before then so check back for updates to the forecast.
