KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1215 AM CDT Thu Aug 6 2026

- Above average temperatures persist into next week.

- Slight chance of thunderstorms Friday evening across the far southern Panhandle.

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Friday) Issued at 1048 PM CDT Wed Aug 5 2026

There is still very little to discuss in regards to the forecast for for foreseeable future. An upper level ridge will remain parked near the four corners for the next few days. Convection currently on the higher terrain of eastern New Mexico will likely bring some very light rain showers towards the region early Thursday morning. However, chances are very small of any measurable precipitation. Thursday will see a near repeat of Wednesday with above seasonal average temperatures. A surface trough draped across eastern New Mexico will generate additional convection that will not likely make it into the South Plains of West Texas.

LONG TERM

(Friday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 1048 PM CDT Wed Aug 5 2026

Friday evening will see a slight chance of precipitation with storms possibly sneaking into the area from the northwest. The upper level ridge will move slightly westward which may allow for the surface trough to be positioned farther east. Otherwise, little to no precipitation is expected through at least early next week. Very little variation in temperatures can be expected with forecast maximum temperatures within five degrees or so of seasonal averages.
