KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 1203 PM CDT Fri Aug 28 2026
- An extended period of hot and dry weather is expected to persist through the next week.
- The ongoing drought situation will continue to worsen. Localized fire weather concerns will develop each day.
SHORT TERM
(Through tonight ) Issued at 1059 AM CDT Fri Aug 28 2026
Mostly sunny and dry conditions will persist through the remainder of the day. Temperatures will remain above normal, but reasonable, with highs in the 90s. Relatively low dew points will keep heat indices mostly below 100 F. Overnight tonight lows will again reach the mid 60s to low 70s. No rain will occur.
LONG TERM
(Tomorrow through Friday) Issued at 1059 AM CDT Fri Aug 28 2026
The upper level ridge will shift directly overhead this weekend with temperatures warming up once again. Highs will generally be in the upper 90s to low 100s across the area with lows in the mid to upper 70s. Dew points will rise, but will not be extremely high given the ongoing dry conditions. Even so, heat indices will marginally support the issuance of heat products at times, so this potential will be monitored.
With the high overhead, no rain is expected to occur through early next week. Winds will become southerly on Saturday, remaining that way through the forecast period. Speeds will not be overly strong, but a bit of gustiness is expected each afternoon. The hot, dry, and breezy conditions in combination with existing drought will support limited fire weather potential each day.
By the middle of next week, a pacific trough will nudge into the west, weakening the southern Plains high along its western periphery. Rain is still not likely, but a few isolated showers and storms cannot be ruled out for the middle to end of next week. If these storms did develop, impacts would likely be limited to brief locally heavy rain and gusty winds.
