1228pm CDT Wednesday Oct 7 2026

(This evening through next Tuesday) Issued at 1224pm CDT Wednesday Oct 7 2026

We will continue to see light northerly to easterly winds along with drier air through tomorrow keeping rain chances minimal. Even with the drier air dewpoints will not drop much today and tomorrow morning. However, some areas across the northern portion of the CWA (County Warning Area) could see dewpoints drop into the mid to upper 50s Thursday night and into Friday morning. High and low temperatures are forecasted to be above normal or near normal through Friday and the weekend.

Tropical Storm Isaias has formed in the southwestern Gulf. Model guidance is slowly improving into a better consensus of both track and intensity. Isaias is forecasted to become a hurricane as it turns north toward the central Gulf Coast. While the track has wobbled some to the east and west, current model guidance and NHC forecast has become more in agreement of a landfall in the Mississippi Coast and the Florida Panhandle. Greater impacts from Isaias are expected to remain east of our CWA; however a deep surge of tropical moisture from Isaias will increase our rain chances Friday afternoon through the weekend. We can also expect to see some breezy conditions in both sustained wind speeds (10-15kts) and wind gusts (15-20kts) Friday due to the proximity of the storm.
