KEY MESSAGES
- HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 454 AM CDT SAT AUG 29 2026
THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTER WILL BEGIN SHIFTING TO THE EAST AND GAIN
EVEN MORE CONTROL OVER OUR AREA THIS WEEKEND. THIS MEANS HOTTER
TEMPERATURES AND CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS. HIGHS WILL LARGELY
RANGE IN THE MIDDLE 90S TO 103 DEGREES, WITH THE HOTTEST
CONDITIONS BEING ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1209 AM CDT SAT AUG 29 2026
NOT MANY CHANGES TO THE LONGER TERM FORECAST, WITH THE HOT AND DRY
CONDITIONS CONTINUING INTO NEXT WEEK AND LIKELY INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS TO THE SOUTHEAST US BUT REMAINS
STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP ANY SYSTEMS FROM APPROACHING FROM THE
SOUTHWEST US. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL, PARTLY
BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING VERY DRY CONDITIONS AND THE LACK OF MUCH
IN THE WAY OF SOIL MOISTURE. THIS MEANS THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN THE DRIEST, MAINLY THE
BIG COUNTRY, WHERE READINGS WILL CONTINUE TO CLIMB ABOVE THE 100
DEGREE MARK. FARTHER SOUTH, A LITTLE MORE RECENT RAINFALL ON
THURSDAY, PLUS A LITTLE MORE FARTHER AWAY FROM THE RIDGE AXIS,
MEANS HIGHS WILL REMAIN IN THE MID/UPPER 90S ACROSS THE HILL
COUNTRY AND EDWARDS PLATEAU.
