(Today and tonight)
Issued at 211 AM CDT Wed Jul 22 2026

Hot temperatures will be the main story through the next 24 hours.
An upper level ridge is forecast to be centered across North Texas
and southern Oklahoma today. This will result in highs in the upper
90s to near 105 across the region. A Heat Advisory is in effect
across all of the Big Country, eastern portions of the northwest
Hill Country and much of the Heartland as temperatures and/or heat
index values reach or exceed 105. A weak cold front is forecast to be
draped across North Texas today. A few of the high resolution models
indicated isolated showers and thunderstorms developing this
afternoon in the vicinity of the front. Although most locations will
remain dry cannot rule out an isolated shower or thunderstorms in
our eastern counties. Have added in some 10 PoPs with a mention of
isolated thunderstorms. If storms to develop, given the hot
temperatures and large dewpoint depressions, gust winds will be
possible. Expect overnight lows in the mid 70s to near 80.
