KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 612 AM CDT Tue Sep 8 2026
- Very warm to hot temperatures through late this week.
- A slight cooling trend with some increase in daytime shower/storm chances forecast late weekend through early next week.
SHORT TERM
(Today through Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 138 AM CDT Tue Sep 8 2026
Temperatures are back on the rise and will remain in the 90s to low 100s the next couple of days. Upper high pressure remains stationary from northern New Mexico to the eastern seaboard keeping temperatures from fluctuating. Limited moisture also allows for only isolated afternoon and early evening showers and storms in the Davis Mountains.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 138 AM CDT Tue Sep 8 2026
Temperatures remain above normal through the end of the week, perhaps ticking up a couple of more degrees expanding triple digit heat to much of the Permian Basin by Saturday. Models are backing off on a cold front that earlier had been depicted as reaching the basin. It now appears the front will stall to the north of the area, but the associated upper trough should erode the southern plains high enough to allow for slightly cooler temperatures by early next week. The high pressure center shifts from our west late in the week, to the east early next week allowing for cooler gulf air to advect into West Texas and eastern New Mexico. Greater moisture could also allow for better rain chances next week and the NBM is showing slight chance to low chance (20-40%) PoPs. The lack of any upper support prevents rain chances from getting any better.
