KEY MESSAGES

WINDS AND LIGHTNING WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERNS. LIGHTNING STRIKES

- HOT TEMPERATURES AND GENERALLY DRY WEATHER EXPECTED OVER THE
WEEKEND.
SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 PM CDT THU SEP 10 2026
A LINE OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LOCATED OVER THE I-20 CORRIDOR
(AS OF 3:20 PM CDT) WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THIS
EVENING. SMALL HAIL (PEA SIZE), GUSTY WINDS (40 TO 50 MPH), AND
LIGHTNING ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS WITH THIS ACTIVITY AS IT MOVES
THROUGH. SOME POCKETS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ARE OCCURRING AT
TIMES WITH VERY ISOLATED TOTALS OF AROUND AN INCH (1"). WE WILL
REMAIN UNDER A MARGINAL RISK FOR BOTH SEVERE WEATHER AND EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL THAT POTENTIALLY LEADS TO FLOOD RELATED ISSUES FOR THE
REMAINDER OF TODAY.
OTHERWISE, CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE FOR TONIGHT WITH ONLY A
LINGERING RAIN SHOWER OR TWO LEFTOVER. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DROP
DOWN INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S. HOT AND MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS
WILL RETURN FOR FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 90S TO 102 DEGREES.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 PM CDT THU SEP 10 2026
HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO REINFORCE ITSELF ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGHOUT THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL START THE RETURN OF HOT AND
DRY CONDITIONS ONCE AGAIN. HIGH TEMPERATURES NEAR 104 DEGREES ARE
FORECAST ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY ON SATURDAY. SIMILAR CONDITIONS
WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK, BUT WITH SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES. LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A WEAKENED
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BY THE MIDDLE TO END OF NEXT WEEK. THIS MAY
ALLOW FOR COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A FEW LOW CHANCES (20%) FOR
RAIN. THIS REMAINS RATHER UNCERTAIN AT THIS POINT, HOWEVER.
