.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 617 AM CDT Tue Jul 28 2026

 - A Heat Advisory is in effect for areas off the Caprock today,
   where temperatures will range from 105 to 108 this afternoon.

 - Hot and mostly dry conditions will continue this week, with
   some very low storm chances returning Thu-Sat.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday)
Issued at 1022 PM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026

A very rinse and repeat forecast is expected. A large upper level
ridge will continue to dominate the region bringing sunny skies and
continued hot temperatures. As highs on the Caprock somewhat
underperformed from NBM on Monday, the Heat Advisory has been
trimmed to only include areas off the Caprock. Nonetheless, triple-
digit highs should still be seen across the entire forecast area.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 1022 PM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026

The aforementioned ridge will slowly shift westward through the
remainder of the week. Highs will only vary a degree or two through
Friday and widespread triple-digits will persist. The center of the
ridge tracks far enough west by late Thursday to allow some wrap-
around monsoonal moisture into our area through Friday. However PoPs
remain quite low due to the uncertainty. A "cold" front looks to
move through at some point on Saturday, although this will likely
only drop highs into the mid 90s by Sunday.
