PERSIST THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1222 PM CDT SAT SEP 19 2026
LATEST MID AND LOWER LEVEL WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE DRY AIR
STILL WELL IN PLACE OVER THE AREA. AN UPPER RIDGE CENTERED OVER
NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING HOT TEMPERATURES,
HOWEVER GIVEN THE DRIER AIR, HUMIDITIES WILL BE AGAIN LOWER
SIMILAR TO FRIDAY. HEAT INDICIES WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM AROUND
102-105F. A WEAK TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL BEGIN TO
BREAK DOWN THE RIDGE, WEAKENING THE CAPPING AND ALLOWING FOR
DIURNAL STORM CHANCES TO RETURN. THESE WILL INITIALLY BE QUITE
ISOLATED AND GENERALLY CONFINED TO AREAS ALONG THE COAST, EAST OF
GALVESTON. HUMIDITY WILL BE A COUPLE DEGREES HIGHER, THOUGH SHOULD
REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.
THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM NEXT WEEK FROM THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST. HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST WITH DIURNAL
ISOLATED STORM CHANCES ALONG THE COAST. A WEAK COLD FRONT LATE-WEEK
MAY DROP TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES AND BRING LESS HUMIDITY. AN
UPPER RIDGE ALSO LOOKS TO STRENGTHEN OVER THE SAME TIME FRAME AND
CURTAIL ANY STORM CHANCES.
