.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 1208 AM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026

 - Hot and dry conditions will persist through next week.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Monday)
Issued at 1044 PM CDT Sat Jul 25 2026

Broad high pressure will continue to dominate the region through
Sunday. Overnight lows remain mild in the 70s. A subtle southward
shift in the ridge on Sunday will allow for high temperatures to
rise a degree or two from Saturday, however conditions will be
essentially the same overall. Highs are expected at or near 100 on
the Caprock, while reaching the low 100s off the Caprock. However
most areas should remain below Heat Advisory criteria, with quiet
weather continuing into the overnight.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 1044 PM CDT Sat Jul 25 2026

The rather mundane forecast will persist Monday through the end of
the week. The large upper high pressure dominating the region will
slowly shift westward but remain the significant influence over the
region, bringing essentially no change to the hot and dry conditions
we have seen as of late. Highs Monday will again increase a degree
or two and remain steady thereafter. Highs on the Caprock are
expected in the low 100s, while highs around 105 off the Caprock may
prompt several days worth of Heat Advisories. The next chance of any
precipitation will not occur until late Friday or Saturday as the
ridge will have move far enough west such that the "ridge rider"
storms may be able to work their way into west Texas on its
periphery.
