KEY MESSAGES

- Continued hot and dry through the first week of September.

- August in Lubbock is nearing the record warmest set in 2011.

SHORT TERM

(Rest of tonight through Monday) Issued at 1015 PM CDT Sat Aug 29 2026

The core of a 5950 meter H5 high was found passing over the South Plains late this evening and will set its sights for the Ozarks by this time Sunday. Unfortunately, temps from 850-700 mb will undergo no real cooling until Monday when the high shifts atop the Missouri Bootheel. This will translate into Monday's highs being 1-3 degrees lower than Sunday, but with an elongated ridge remaining over the area we'll remain dry. To pile on the bad news, Lubbock is precariously close to tying 2011 as the warmest August ever. If our forecast temps pan out Sunday and Monday, we'll finish with an average temperature of 85.9F which is just 0.1 degree shy of 2011's record.
