KEY MESSAGES
- QUIET WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS WEEK, WITH STEADILY
WARMING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1215 PM CDT MON OCT 19 2026
RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS NORTH
AND CENTRAL TEXAS AS MID-LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE OUR SENSIBLE
WEATHER. THE RIDGE ATOP OUR REGION IS A BYPRODUCT OF A MORE
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN ALONG BOTH THE EAST COAST AND WEST COAST,
WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNDER A TROUGHING REGIME.
LOCALLY, AS HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO RISE, WE'LL SEE A GRADUAL
INCREASE IN TEMPERATURES TODAY AND TOMORROW. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE
70S TODAY, WITH WIDESPREAD UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S TOMORROW. WINDS
WILL REMAIN LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST, GENERALLY BELOW 7
MPH.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1215 PM CDT MON OCT 19 2026
BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, THE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO AMPLIFY OVER
NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE TO
INCREASE. WEDNESDAY ONWARD, HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 80S ACROSS THE
REGION WITH SUNNY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON WITH SPEEDS BELOW 10 MPH.
THERE WILL BE NO RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE REST OF THIS WEEK GIVEN
THE AMPLIFIED RIDGE OVER OUR REGION. LOOKING AHEAD BEYOND THE NEXT
7 DAYS, CHANGES IN THE OVERALL CONUS WEATHER PATTERN MAY INCREASE
THE LIKELIHOOD OF SHORTWAVES PASSING OVER THE REGION. THIS COULD
POTENTIALLY BRING BACK PRECIPITATION CHANCES BY THE EARLY TO
MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.
