ISSUED AT 1213 AM CDT MON JUL 20 2026
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO BUILD SOUTH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND
BRING HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK FOR
WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. HOTTEST READINGS WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS THE BIG
COUNTRY CLOSEST TO THE RIDGE, WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB ABOVE
THE 100 DEGREE MARK. WILL LIKELY BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER TO THE
SOUTH, BOTH FARTHER FROM THE RIDGE AND WHERE THEY WILL STILL HAVE
WET SOILS FROM THE RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL.
DOES LOOK LIKE SURFACE DEWPOINTS WILL BE LOW ENOUGH THAT HEAT
INDEX VALUES WILL STAY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR NOW, BUT ACTUAL
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY MAY BEGIN TO INCH TOWARDS THE
105 DEGREE CRITERIA BY MID WEEK. A FUTURE HEAT ADVISORY MAY END
UP BEING NEEDED.
WILL ALSO KEEP AN EYE ON THE TROPICAL SYSTEM IN THE GULF. TOO MANY
