Above-average temperatures will continue through the weekend. An elevated fire weather threat will exist on Friday due to low humidity. A decaying thundershower complex may reach northern portions of the area on Sunday morning.
A more active pattern will return to the Southern Plains next week. There are increasing chances that we'll see the season's first true cold front across the region, bringing beneficial rainfall and some thunderstorm chances as well! Stay up to date with the latest forecast at weather.gov/fwd.
