KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 204 AM CDT Thu Jun 25 2026

- Dry and hot through early next week.

- Saharan dust makes a return to the area, which could result in hazy conditions early next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 204 AM CDT Thu Jun 25 2026

High pressure remains in control of the forecast with generally hot and dry weather expected. As mentioned previously, there is an interesting challenge to the forecast as Saharan dust moves into the area by late this weekend/early next week. This, combined with smoke from agricultural fires in Mexico, will lead to hazy skies which could keep temperatures a little cooler than currently forecast. We are still too early to tell if the haze will be able to provide some relief from the heat so we will continue with the forecast as-is.

Heat index values will range from 100-109 through the weekend and into early next week. Please use caution if you are working or playing outside. Take plenty of breaks, drink water/electrolytes, and don't forget sunscreen (and mosquito repellent). Fortunately, winds will be fairly breezy, with gusts to around 35 mph possible, so that should help us feel just a little better outside.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 204 AM CDT Thu Jun 25 2026

VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the period though some periods of MVFR CIGs will be possible across a few sites (ALI,COT,LRD). This will mainly be around daybreak and shouldn't persist more than a couple of hours. Winds will be breezy today out of the southeast around 10-15 knots with gusts up to 25 knots. Winds come down over the eastern terminals Thursday evening, and will remain elevated in the west through the night.

MARINE

Issued at 204 AM CDT Thu Jun 25 2026

Moderate to fresh southeasterly winds (BF 4-5) and 3-4 ft seas can be expected today. Winds along the nearshore waters will increase to fresh to strong (BF 5-6) and seas increase to 4-6 ft beginning late tonight. A Small Craft Advisory may be needed.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 204 AM CDT Thu Jun 25 2026

Fire weather concerns will remain low through the period due to elevated relative humidity values and wet fuels. The chance for wetting rains will remain very low to near zero through early next week.
