DISCUSSION

Issued at 135 PM CDT Fri Jul 17 2026

Through the weekend and into next week, the large scale pattern will become drier and more stable as surface and mid-level high pressure gradually build westward. Increasing sunshine and the drier air mass will allow temperatures to gradually warm, with highs near seasonal normals this weekend before climbing a few degrees above average early next week. Heat index values are expected to remain generally between 100-105 degF, supporting a moderate (level 2 of 4) heat risk across much of the region. The hottest conditions are anticipated across the Rio Grande Plains and Brush Country, where some locations could approach the triple digits with isolated pockets of major (level 3 of 4) heat risk.
