.SHORT TERM...

(This evening through Thursday)

Issued at 1206 PM CDT Wed Aug 5 2026



An upper ridge centered generally over the Four Corners region 

continues to bring hot and dry conditions to our area. Today will be 

similar to yesterday with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 

90s to low triple-digits. Southerly winds will increase to near 15 

mph this afternoon. Mild temperatures will continue overnight with 

lows generally in the low-to-mid 70s. The aforementioned ridge will 

continue to track slightly to the west, however evening PoPs have 

become less optimistic as shortwaves trailing a trough moving over 

the upper Midwest look to remain farther east over Oklahoma. As 

such, Thursday will mostly be a repeat of today with hot and dry 

conditions.

.LONG TERM...

(Thursday night through next Tuesday)

Issued at 1206 PM CDT Wed Aug 5 2026



Embedded shortwaves will again propagate along the periphery of the 

ridge on Friday. Again, capping will be difficult to overcome, 

however a slight chance of thunderstorms has been retained in the 

far southern Panhandle with associated height falls. Otherwise the 

upper level pattern will remain unchanged well into next week. Highs 

will hold steady from the upper 90s on the Caprock and low triple-

digits off the Caprock.
