KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 1137 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026
- Temperatures this week will climb into the triple digits most locations each afternoon. Heat Advisories are likely, as the effects of heat are cumulative, and present an increasing risk of heat-related illnesses. - Rain chances will be slim to none.
SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Monday night) Issued at 153 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026
Yesterday was the "cool" day for the week as highs held in the 90s. Above normal temperatures return Monday with highs reaching into the triple digits once again. Current satellite shows cumulus developing in the higher elevations west of the Pecos River. Unfortunately there is no vertical build to the clouds and showers, if any, will be very sporadic.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 153 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026
Persistent high pressure remains over New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle Tuesday through the end of the week. The pattern changes slightly over the weekend as the high regresses west slightly causing more northerly flow over the Great Plains allowing for a weak cold front to drop south. Models are indicating this front could make it as far south as our CWA allowing for some hope for rainfall. These rain chances are not currently reflected in the NBM forecast, but I suspect later runs will start increasing PoPs for the weekend if the trend holds. Otherwise triple digit heat and dry conditions to continue.
