ISSUED AT 155 AM CDT MON AUG 31 2026
THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTER WILL MOVE OFF TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY.
THIS MEANDERING OF THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL LEAVE OUR AREA A DEGREE
OR TWO COOLER. HOWEVER, TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE HOT IN THE
UPPER 90S TO 101 DEGREES. THE DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ON
THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THIS WEEK WITH NO RAIN CHANCES THROUGH
TUESDAY.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1234 AM CDT MON AUG 31 2026
A HOT AND DRY FORECAST WILL PREVAIL ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS
THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD, AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE DOMINATES
OUR WEATHER. THE CENTER OF THE UPPER RIDGE WILL REMAIN NORTHEAST
OF THE AREA EARLY THIS WEEK AND EVENTUALLY CENTERED OVER THE MID-
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY MID TO LATE WEEK. DAYTIME HIGHS THROUGH THE
PERIOD WILL RANGE FROM THE MID AND UPPER 90S ACROSS SOUTHERN
SECTIONS, TO THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 102 DEGREES FROM THE CONCHO
VALLEY NORTH INTO THE BIG COUNTRY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN
WARM, WITH LOWS PREDOMINANTLY IN THE 70S.
DUE TO THE HOT TEMPERATURES, DRYING VEGETATION AND LOWER
AFTERNOON HUMIDITY VALUES, ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL
REMAIN AN ISSUE THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL
INCREASE JUST A BIT BY LATE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND. THIS COULD
RESULT IN A FEW SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER FAR
SOUTHEAST COUNTIES FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS
QUITE LOW AT THIS TIME.
