DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1034 PM CDT SUN JUL 26 2026
HOT TEMPERATURES AND RAIN FREE CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD. AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL
US LOOKS TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEK, RESULTING IN BROAD
SUBSIDENCE AND DRY MID LEVELS ACROSS TEXAS. THIS WILL GENERALLY
SUPPORT SUNNY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THROUGH THE WEEK, THOUGH SOME
LOW CUMULUS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE EARLY MORNINGS.
SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT ADDITIONAL HOT
AIR AND MOISTURE TO THE REGION. COMBINED WITH THE DAYTIME
HEATING, THIS WILL SUPPORT HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE TRIPLE-DIGITS
ACROSS MOST OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS THIS WEEK.
THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HUMID AIR WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN MAJOR HEAT RISK (LEVEL 3 OF 4) ACROSS MOST OF DEEP
SOUTH TEXAS THIS WEEK, WITH PORTIONS OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND
COASTAL PLAINS POSSIBLY REACHING EXTREME HEAT RISK (LEVEL 4 OF 4)
IN THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEK. HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE FORECAST TO
GENERALLY PEAK AROUND 110-115 DEGREES EACH AFTERNOON. DRIER AIR
OVER PORTIONS OF ZAPATA AND JIM HOGG COUNTIES MAY KEEP HEAT INDEX
VALUES SLIGHTLY LOWER, IN SPITE OF THE HIGHER AIR TEMPERATURES.
HEAT ADVISORIES WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY LIKELY AS THE WEEK
PROGRESSES, PRIMARILY ACROSS THE COASTAL COUNTIES AND THE RIO
GRANDE VALLEY.
