.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 127 PM CDT Mon Sep 14 2026

An upper level ridge centered across the Southeast U.S. extends west
into Texas and will dominate the weather across West Central Texas
through the next 24 hours. This will result in temperatures well
above seasonal normals. Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 70s
for most locations. Highs will be in the mid 90s to near 102. Since
the ridge is not forecast to centered over us, we cannot rule out an
isolated shower this afternoon or Tuesday afternoon, but coverage
should remain isolated enough to not include in the current
forecast.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 127 PM CDT Mon Sep 14 2026

Wednesday through Friday, the aforementioned upper level ridge will
begin to shift west, closer to Texas. Although the ridge is forecast
to get closer to the forecast area during this time frame it is also
forecast to weaken. This will result in a continuation of above
normal temperatures, but temperatures should be slightly less hot
than what is forecast at the beginning of the week. Expect highs in
the mid 90s to near 100, with highs trending down by about a degree
or two every day.

A pattern change is forecast to take shape as we head into the
weekend. An upper level trough is forecast to strengthen across the
western CONUS, helping to break down the upper level ridge that has
been dominating our weather. This will result in cooler temperatures
and an increase in rain chances. Highs on Saturday will still be in
the mid 90s, with highs Sunday down into the low to mid 90s. There
continues to be uncertainty on the eventual position and strength of
the trough to our west this weekend (into early next week), so for
now low to medium (20-50%) rain chances were kept in the forecast.
