.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 207 PM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026

An upper level ridge remains our primary weather maker within the
Short Term period, promoting hot and dry conditions. Current
satellite imagery shows clear to mostly clear skies as the ridge
axis meanders between the Rockies and the central and southern
Plains. Temperatures tonight fall into the 70s across the region.
Tuesday afternoon, highs top out in the upper 90s in our southern
counties, to just beyond the century mark for most of our area.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 207 PM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026

Upper level ridging remains in control of our weather pattern
through much of the forecast period. The center of the ridge
gradually shifts from the southern Plains into the Desert Southwest
through the remainder of the week and much of the weekend.
Subsidence below this area of high pressure keeps hot and mostly dry
conditions in the forecast. Temperatures most afternoons are progged
to range within the 90s to low 100s. The hottest conditions are
forecast to arise on Friday afternoon, when highs beyond the triple
digit mark become more prevalent, especially within the Big Country.
As such, heat products may be issued as needed later this week. However,
models indicate a slight cool down late this weekend. As the ridge
continues a westward shift Saturday, a trough currently over the eastern
US looks to dip southward, sending a cold front into the region Saturday
afternoon. The front brings slightly cooler temperatures Sunday and
Monday. Lift associated with the front also brings low (<20%) rain chances
to the region Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Otherwise, overnight lows
are forecast to generally settle into the 70s each night.
