IN THE MID AND UPPER 90S AND PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES NEAR 100 TO

SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1211 PM CDT MON JUN 29 2026
A SEASONABLY HOT, BUT BREEZY DAY ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS AS WE
REMAIN UNDER SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW. UNDER LONGWAVE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING,
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE UPPER-90S,
WITH HEAT INDICES PEAKING IN THE 100-105 DEGREE RANGE. CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO STAY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA THANKS TO DIURNAL
MIXING OF A SHALLOW MOIST LAYER, KEEPING SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE
UPPER 60S. AS THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL LEE TROUGHING TO OUR NORTH AND
WEST, THIS HAS RESULTED IN STRONGER GRADIENT FLOW AND THEREFORE
PEAK GUSTS OF 30-35 MPH THROUGHOUT THE DFW METROPLEX, WHICH ALSO
KEPT OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES RATHER MILD IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW
80S. THE THERMAL LOW TO OUR NORTH WILL BEGIN TO TRANSLATE OFF TO
THE NORTH AND EAST THIS EVENING, THEREFORE WE CAN EXPECT SOUTHERLY
WINDS TO DECREASE TO 5-10 MPH. WHILE THIS MAY ALLOW FOR MORE
EFFECTIVE RADIATIVE COOLING AND SLIGHTLY COOLER OVERNIGHT LOWS IN
THE MID TO UPPER 70S, LIGHTER WINDS MAY EXACERBATE THE MUGGY
CONDITIONS AS DEWPOINTS BEGIN TO INCREASE INTO THE LOW 70S INTO
THE EVENING YIELDING ANOTHER UNCOMFORTABLE NIGHT.
TUESDAY WILL ALSO FEATURE MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS WITH MUCH CALMER
SOUTHERLY WINDS RELATIVE TO TODAY. WE CAN EXPECT HIGH
TEMPERATURES TO AGAIN REMAIN IN THE UPPER-90S WITH HEAT INDICES IN
THE LOW 100S. OTHER THAN THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW LOW CLOUDS AROUND
AND SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE, CAN EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND
ANOTHER SEASONABLY HOT DAY.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1211 PM CDT MON JUN 29 2026
MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK
RESULTING IN CONTINUE HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS. WHILE THE CENTER OF
THE RIDGE AXIS WILL INITIALLY BE OVER THE EASTERN CONUS, THIS WILL
FLATTEN A BIT AN REPOSITION BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST BY FRIDAY. THIS
SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB A FEW DEGREES TO NEAR 100 BY
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. DEEP BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING SHOULD CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEK WHICH WILL ALLOW DEWPOINTS TO FALL INTO THE UPPER
60S EACH AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD GENERALLY KEEP US BELOW HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA WITH DAILY HEAT INDICES IN THE 102-105 DEGREE
RANGE. THERE IS A CONTINUED SIGNAL THAT A WEAK UPPER TROUGH WILL
MANAGE TO WORK SOUTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LATE SATURDAY
INTO SUNDAY WITH SOME LOW STORM CHANCES EXPECTED AREAWIDE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND SCATTERED STORMS SHOULD
RESULT IN HIGHS SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN SATURDAY.

TEMPO GROUP AT ALL TAF SITES. CURRENT GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE EVENING, WITH SPEEDS AROUND 15 KTS
PREVAILING OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
