KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 115 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026

- Temperatures will continue to climb this week, with some of the hottest conditions of the season possible.

- High pressure will dominate, bringing very limited precipitation chances and continued drying trends.

- The hotter temperatures and lack of rainfall will continue to dry fuels, increasing the fire weather concern.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 115 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026

High pressure will take control of the region this week, bringing an increasingly dry and stable pattern with precipitation chances essentially disappearing through the next week. Unfortunately, if you are looking for a break from the heat, the atmosphere appears to have other plans. Temperatures will continue to climb from their already hot levels, to even higher levels by the middle and end of the week. While heat index values will be treating Tuesday like the middle of February and flirting with Heat Advisory criteria, I think we will remain just out of reach at this time. From Wednesday onward, however, heat indices should be warm enough to bring a return of heat headlines to the area, which could persist into the weekend. Seems like summer wants to remind us all this week just what it is capable of doing to us here in the south.

The increasingly dry pattern will have consequences beyond simply making outdoor activities feel like a questionable life choice. With temperatures rising and moisture lacking, fuels will continue to dry out, resulting in increasing fire weather concerns through the upcoming week. While I don't think that we will see critical fire weather conditions, this pattern will support the potential for grass and brush fires. In summary, the forecast offers a familiar southern summer package; hot, dry, and increasingly difficult to convince ourselves that fall is actually on the horizon. /33/

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1130 AM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026

Cu field continues to grow and expand from our southern airspace northward to begin the 18z TAF period. Still cannot rule out some isolated afternoon convection across our far southern zones, mainly south of the I-20 Corridor. If we see this, the LFK terminal would be the only impacted terminal but given the isolated coverage, chose to leave out VCTS from the LFK terminal and will handle any VCTS with an AMD if necessary. Otherwise, cu field will dissipate quickly this evening with skies becoming mostly fair overnight. Did not see much chance for any IFR/MVFR ceilings returning overnight across our NE TX terminals near and shortly after sunrise Tue Morning so left this out of the package as well. Otherwise, growing cu field by mid to late morning on Tue, expanding northward as what we are seeing today. VFR conditions should prevail through the next 24 hours.
