.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 1214 AM CDT Sat Sep 12 2026

The ridge currently centered over the southwestern CONUS will re-
center over our area by Sunday, and then eventually the southeastern
U. S. by Monday. Although the center of the ridge will not be on top
of us through the rest of next week, the ridge will be expansive and
still be the main influence over our weather. What that means for
west-central Texas is continued warmer than normal temperatures in
the upper 90s to around 103 on Sunday, then a very slow cooling of
highs into the mid and upper 90s by the end of next week. Normal
highs now through late next week range from around 88 to 90 degrees.
No significant chance of precipitation is expected until next Friday.
