KEY MESSAGES
- HOT BUT LESS HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY WITH
TEMPERATURES INCREASING INTO MIDWEEK. NO SIGNIFICANT RAIN
CHANCES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WORK WEEK.
SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 125 AM CDT MON AUG 3 2026
AFTER A RELATIVELY COOL START TO THE MORNING, TEMPERATURES WILL
CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES MONDAY AFTERNOON AS
MID-LEVEL RIDGING EXPANDS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. ANOTHER
AFTERNOON OF EFFICIENT MIXING WILL KEEP SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE
MID 50S TO LOWER 60S ALLOWING FOR HEAT INDEX VALUES TO REMAIN NEAR
THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE. EXPECT CLEAR SKIES TO CONTINUE INTO
MONDAY NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S BY
SUNRISE TUESDAY MORNING.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 125 AM CDT MON AUG 3 2026
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO CLIMB INTO MIDWEEK WITH AFTERNOON
HIGHS TOPPING OUT AT 100-103 DEGREES TUESDAY. DEEP AFTERNOON
MIXING SHOULD PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR A HEAT ADVISORY TUESDAY.
HOWEVER, AS WE ENTER THE LATTER PORTIONS OF THE WORK WEEK
PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL DRAW GREATER QUALITY
MOISTURE OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS BUMPING UP THE HUMIDITY AND
TICKING HEAT INDEX VALUES NEAR/ABOVE ADVISORY CRITERIA. INCREASING
MOISTURE AND A WEAKENING OF THE RIDGE ALOFT MAY ALLOW FOR SOME
LOW-END RAIN CHANCES ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS
FRIDAY INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
