KEY MESSAGES
Issued at 1023 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026 - Hot and dry this weekend with triple-digit highs on Sunday.
- Daily chances of storms each day next week.
SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Sunday) Issued at 1023 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026
Low pressure will pass to our north on Saturday causing SE winds overnight to veer more southerly during the day. This will bring a return of warmer temperatures, with highs reaching the mid 90s under mostly sunny skies. Some models indicate isolated convection developing across northern portions of the forecast area during the evening associated with a shortwave moving over the Panhandle. A few token PoPs have been added to the forecast, however severe weather is unlikely. Southerly winds will remain elevated overnight Saturday into Sunday, keeping lows mild ranging from the upper 60s to mid 70s. Surface winds will veer southwest during the day Sunday leading in part to even hotter temperatures well into the triple-digits. Heat advisories may be needed for portions of the area.
LONG TERM
(Sunday night through next Friday) Issued at 1023 PM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026
An upper ridge will stall near the Desert Southwest through much of next week. A series of shortwaves propagating around its periphery will track across our area and bring daily chances of showers and thunderstorms mainly during the afternoon/evening hours. It remains a bit too early to determine specifics, however models have been fairly consistent that late Tuesday into Wednesday appears to be when chances will be highest. Otherwise, storms look to be isolated to scattered. East-southeast winds will persist through the week, helping to keep low-level moisture present as well as keeping high temperatures at least out of the triple-digits. Highs will generally stay in the mid 90s.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS) Issued at 625 AM CDT Sat Jun 20 2026
After a bout of LIFR to MVFR ceilings and fog at CDS for a couple more hours, and a shorter bout of some low decks at LBB, VFR will prevail with steady S winds. S winds become breezier tonight helping to offset LLWS concerns under a low-level jet.
