KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1019 PM CDT Mon Aug 3 2026

- Hot temperatures continue through the end of the week.

- Slight chance of storms Wednesday through Friday, mainly across the far southern Texas Panhandle.

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Wednesday) Issued at 1019 PM CDT Mon Aug 3 2026

Breezy south-southeast winds will continue overnight keeping overnight lows mild, generally in the mid-to-low 70s. Tuesday will be very similar as today with strong upper high pressure still dominating the region. Winds will slightly shift from southwest in the morning to southeasterly in the afternoon, which should help temperatures cool by a degree or two from today. Thus, although highs off the Caprock may approach 105, the Heat Advisory train appears to be over.

LONG TERM

(Wednesday night through next Monday) Issued at 1019 PM CDT Mon Aug 3 2026

A shallow upper trough will move over the northern Great Plains on Wednesday. The aforementioned ridge should shift just far enough to the west to allow associated trailing shortwaves to have at least some minor influence over the far southwestern Panhandle late-day. As such, low-end PoPs have been retained in the latest forecast, although any storms should be confined to in and around the Friona area. Thursday and Friday will see more shortwave activity along the eastern edge of the upper high. Highest storm chances look to mainly occur over the far southern Panhandle on Friday. Temperatures will slightly cool, but remain a few degrees above average in the mid 90s on the Caprock and near 100 off the Caprock.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 528 PM CDT Mon Aug 3 2026
