.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 210 AM CDT Fri Aug 14 2026

The dominant upper level high will remain anchored over the Gulf
Coast and lower Mississippi Valley today. Thus expect another day
of hot and breezy conditions across west central Texas. Highs are
forecast to be slightly lower over the Big Country this afternoon
so will forego issuing a heat advisory with this forecast package.
Nevertheless, please drink plenty of water and stay hydrated if
you will be outside today. Expect highs in the upper 90s to near
103 degrees for much of the area. Elevated fire weather conditions
will also persist today as surface fuels continue to dry and
winds increase to 15-20 mph in the afternoon. Will issue a Fire
Danger Statement for the Big Country and northern Concho Valley.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Friday)
Issued at 1155 PM CDT Thu Aug 13 2026

Hot and dry conditions this weekend are expected to persist
through much of next week, as high pressure remains steadfast
over the region through the long term forecast. There remains
little to no change in the high and low temperatures expected
through much of the long term forecast. Afternoon highs are
expected to reach into the mid 90s and up to around 104 degrees,
and overnight lows in the 70s. The warmest temperatures are
expected across the Big Country and northern portions of the
Concho Valley and Heartland.

South winds will continue and remain breezy through Saturday
evening, then decrease slightly over the remainder of the weekend
and into mid next week as the surface pressure gradient weakens to
some extent. Breezy southerly winds are forecast to pick back up
for the second half of next week. Given the hot and drier
conditions, along with some breezy southerly winds, there remains
some fire weather concerns over this weekend.
