KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 615 AM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026

- A Heat Advisory is in effect for the entire forecast area today.

- Triple digit high temperatures will persist through at least Friday.

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 1039 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026

Mild and benign conditions remain expected overnight with lows in the 70s. A broad upper level ridge will continue to dominate the region Monday along with south-southwesterly winds and mostly sunny skies. Highs will be a few degrees warmer than Sunday, with temperatures off the Caprock exceeding 105 in many locations. As such, a Heat Advisory is in effect from 1 PM to 9 PM for the entire forecast area.

LONG TERM

(Tuesday night through next Sunday) Issued at 1039 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026

The aforementioned upper ridge will slowly track westward through the week and very little change is expected through Friday across the region. Widespread triple-digit highs will persist, with temperatures around 105 or greater off the Caprock. Once the center of the high reaches the Four Corners area, this will allow for the potential for shortwaves and subsequent ridge-rider storms to move into our area. However, models do not look overly impressive at this time. Despite a potential "cold" front as well moving through Saturday, temperatures only look to drop a few degrees.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 615 AM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026

Continuing VFR at all TAF sites. Surface temps will approach or exceed 40C this afternoon; check density altitude.
