.KEY MESSAGES...

  high temperatures in the 90s to near 103 degrees.

- Forecast afternoon highs and heat indices could potentially
  reach heat advisory criteria across portions of the area for
  later this week.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026

High pressure will continue to be centered across northwestern
Texas and New Mexico. This will prolong the hot and dry conditions
across the region. Slightly drier air will continue to settle
across the area again for tomorrow. Therefore, heat indices will
not be as high as previous days. As a result, there is no need for
another Heat Advisory for this evening or tomorrow afternoon.
Expect highs to settle into the upper 90s to 103 degrees.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026

High pressure will continue to remain in place through much of the
long term forecast. Expect highs to gradually rise a few degrees
each day through the middle of next week. This may prompt a
higher likelihood of seeing another Heat Advisory across the
region during this timeframe. Highs are forecast to be near 107
degrees across the Big Country on Thursday. We will have to keep
an eye on these temperature trends as we move into next week.
Otherwise, the high pressure appears to start shifting to the west
by Friday, which may knock temperatures down a degree or two by
next weekend.
