KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 152 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026
- Temperatures remain above normal throughout this week.
- Isolated to scattered (10-30% chance) showers/storms are possible each day, mainly in the higher terrain west of the Pecos River.
SHORT TERM
(Today through Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 152 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026
Highs in the mid 90s are expected the next couple of days. High pressure over the southern Great Plains keeps southeasterly flow at all levels advecting in relatively cooler air to West Texas and eastern New Mexico. The moisture should be enough that an afternoon cloud deck will form but instability will not be enough to allow for showers and storms to form. An exception will be in the Davis Mountains where a few isolated showers may develop.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 152 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026
Upper level high pressure remains anchored to the north of the area across the southern United States. The main change is that mid and lower level flow becomes more southerly, advecting in warmer temperatures from Mexico and causing temps to increase a few degrees. This could bring a brief return of 100 degree highs late in the week. There is model disagreement over the weekend with regards to a cold front moving into the South Plains. Poor model to model and run to run consistency leaves great uncertainty as to whether the front (and it's cooling effects) will make it into our CWA. The NBM is showing slight cooling early next week with an increase in rain chances.
