KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 539 PM CDT Sun Aug 2 2026

- Above normal temperatures and drier conditions return through the week.

SHORT TERM

(This afternoon through Monday night) Issued at 145 PM CDT Sun Aug 2 2026

The effects of the cold front yesterday were short lived, and today we are back to seasonal temperatures in the 90s. High pressure strengthens tomorrow causing temperatures to tick up a couple of degrees more with temperatures near the century mark. The stronger high also eliminates rain chances.

LONG TERM

(Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 145 PM CDT Sun Aug 2 2026

High pressure will continue to control the weather this week. However unlike last week, the high center will be farther west keeping temperatures very near normal for early August. Dry conditions also remain through the end of the week. Not showing up in the NBM forecast just yet is a cold front that will be moving into West Texas and eastern New Mexico next weekend. There is quite a bit of uncertainty as to whether the front will actually make it into the Permian Basin, but regardless it may at least get close enough to allow for scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms to develop.
