.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 103 PM CDT Sat Aug 8 2026

Wash, rinse, and repeat. The upper high remains over the Four
Corners and will keep upper flow light and out of the northeast.
This will keep terrain induced convection well to our west in New
Mexico. While not as warm as if the upper high was overhead, we will
still have temps reaching into the upper 90s on the Caprock and low
100s off the Caprock Today and Sunday.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 103 PM CDT Sat Aug 8 2026

The pattern of warm, dry, and quiet weather will continue early to
mid next week. The upper high will remain in place over the Four
Corners through late Tuesday before settling over the southeast
CONUS. This will help to warm high temps to near or over 100 degrees
area wide by Wednesday as the upper high moves overhead with highs
gradually decreasing by late week as the high continues pushing
southeastward. While rain chances will be kept at bay initially, we
will see improved chances by late week.
