DISCUSSION
Issued at 324 AM CDT Wed Aug 12 2026
High pressure will continue to dominate the weather pattern through the rest of this week and into the weekend. While some low-end rain chances are possible underneath the ridge, it is not all that likely as the ridge centers itself over the state.
With this pattern change, dangerously hot temperatures are expected through the weekend as temperatures soar to above average. Many locations will likely see temperatures rise to near 100 degrees or just above with heat index values slightly higher.
Remember that if need to be outside for any reason, make sure to take plenty of breaks and find shade to rest in. Also be sure to drink plenty of water and wear sunscreen.
