SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1206 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2026
AN UPPER RIDGE CENTERED GENERALLY OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION
CONTINUES TO BRING HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS TO OUR AREA. TODAY WILL BE
SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND HIGHS IN THE UPPER
90S TO LOW TRIPLE-DIGITS. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 15
MPH THIS AFTERNOON. MILD TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH
LOWS GENERALLY IN THE LOW-TO-MID 70S. THE AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE WILL
CONTINUE TO TRACK SLIGHTLY TO THE WEST, HOWEVER EVENING POPS HAVE
BECOME LESS OPTIMISTIC AS SHORTWAVES TRAILING A TROUGH MOVING OVER
THE UPPER MIDWEST LOOK TO REMAIN FARTHER EAST OVER OKLAHOMA. AS
SUCH, THURSDAY WILL MOSTLY BE A REPEAT OF TODAY WITH HOT AND DRY
CONDITIONS.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1206 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2026
EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES WILL AGAIN PROPAGATE ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE
RIDGE ON FRIDAY. AGAIN, CAPPING WILL BE DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME,
HOWEVER A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS BEEN RETAINED IN THE
FAR SOUTHERN PANHANDLE WITH ASSOCIATED HEIGHT FALLS. OTHERWISE THE
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED WELL INTO NEXT WEEK. HIGHS
WILL HOLD STEADY FROM THE UPPER 90S ON THE CAPROCK AND LOW TRIPLE-
DIGITS OFF THE CAPROCK.
