KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 620 AM CDT Sun Aug 2 2026
- Above normal temperatures and drier conditions return through the week.
SHORT TERM
(Today through Monday afternoon) Issued at 135 AM CDT Sun Aug 2 2026
Radar data shows the light to moderate rain dissipating across portions of Eddy County this morning, with an outflow boundary moving into the Trans Pecos. Today, surface high pressure develops over north Texas and upper-level ridging slowly begins to build over the region. This allows for warmer and drier conditions, with temperatures rising slightly above normal. As such, afternoon highs are forecast to reach the upper 90s for most, with readings in the lower triple digits expected along the Rio Grande and portions of the Trans Pecos. Monday, increasing heights associated with the aforementioned upper-level ridge yields afternoon highs in the lower triple digits for many. Greening
LONG TERM
(Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 135 AM CDT Sun Aug 2 2026
Highs near or above 100 degrees are expected again for much of west Texas and southeast New Mexico on Tuesday. By the middle of the week, upper-level shortwaves push the ridge farther west and help lower heights across our area. As a result, highs tick down a couple of degrees relative to Monday and Tuesday. Most locations top out in the mid-to-upper 90s through the end of the week, with only the typical warm spots (particularly the Rio Grande and Pecos River valleys) reaching or exceeding 100 degrees. Nevertheless, this means temperatures across the area will remain consistently a couple of degrees above normal through the end of the forecast period. Besides isolated shower and thunderstorm chances in the higher terrain (10- 20%, mainly in the Davis Mountains), most locations stay dry through the extended.
