.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 1207 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2026

 - Hot and dry conditions will continue through the first week of
   September.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 1207 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2026

Quiet and warm conditions will continue to prevail the rest of today
and through the day Monday. The upper high that is currently
overhead will slowly push eastward tonight into Monday and will
place the FA under weak south to southeasterly upper flow, generally
not as favorable for precip development. Storms will continue to
develop in the monsoonal flow over New Mexico, but these storms will
stay well outside of the FA. Afternoon highs will be cooler by a
degree or two on Monday thanks to the upper high moving east of the
FA. Surface lee troughing will keep surface winds out of the south
to southeast at 10-15 mph.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 1207 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2026

The upper high will only remain over the southeast CONUS for a short
period. During this time, the FA will see slightly cooler but still
warm temps with highs on Tuesday averaging in the mid 90s on the
Caprock and around 100 off the Caprock. Ultimately the upper high
will miss the Great Plains and will retrograde and quickly amplify
across the central CONUS. This will bring afternoon highs to near
100 on the Caprock and low 100s off the Caprock by late week. This
will also keep precip out of the forecast,
