KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1203 AM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

- Much drier and hotter weather pattern is starting to settle into the region, which will bring hazardous heat concerns late this weekend into next week.

- Although they are low, next chances for rain look to return to portions of the area by the middle of next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1203 AM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Upper-level analysis is showing that ridging will begin to control the region as we head deeper into the weekend, which will linger into the start of next week. As a result, the rainfall ceases and the heat increases. Temperatures will begin to slowly increase across the region, starting as early as today. One caveat to that, we thought temperatures would be warmer on Thursday, and they seemed to under perform so I did trend on the lower end of guidance for today. That being said, I think we will see some mid 90s across some of our deep east Texas zones, some upper 80s across our far northern zones, and then 90s for everyone else. Temperatures increase a degree or two on Saturday and then by Sunday we will see everyone in the 90s, with some upper 90s across deep east Texas.

We will need to watch our heat index values through the middle of next week as they will begin to reach dangerous conditions. Deep east Texas will be the first to see this, with a few 105 degree values sprinkled in today. We remain borderline for Heat Advisories on Saturday, with a few more areas reach towards that 105 degree mark. Sunday could be the first day we start to issue heat headlines for portions of the area, although models tonight have come in a little lower on these values. Monday and Tuesday could be a different story, and something we will need to watch for any headlines needed. The next chance for any precipitation across any portion of the region isn't expected till the middle of next week, although as expected, models are in disagreement. /33/
