Expect mainly hot and dry conditions today across the area as a
strong  upper level ridge remains just to our north. However,
isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are
possible across the southern counties this afternoon. The main
hazards will be dangerous lightning and gusty winds. Highs will be
in the mid 90s to around 101 across the Concho Valley and Big
Country. Please follow heat safety precautions including drinking
plenty of water. Expect warm and humid conditions tonight with
lows mainly in the 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 1226 AM CDT Sat Sep 5 2026

The upper level ridge will be centered over the Southern Plains on
Sunday and beyond resulting in a continuation of above average
temperatures. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible
along or south of the I-10 corridor Sunday afternoon, but most of
us will remain dry. The ridge will continue to influence out
weather through at least the middle of next week, with hot and dry
conditions persisting for our area. By the end of the forecast
period some of the ensembles weaken the ridge enough to bring some
moisture into our area but have maintained a dry forecast as the
ridge will likely over the Plains.
