.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 122 AM CDT Sun Aug 2 2026
A drier airmass is settling over the region tonight as north-
northeasterly winds behind yesterday`s cold front draw mid 50s to
low 60s surface dewpoints into North and Central Texas. A few
rural locations may dip below 70 degrees by sunrise Sunday
morning. Expect afternoon high temperatures in the mid 90s across
much of the area on Sunday. Dewpoints will mix into the low to
mid 50s areawide during the afternoon keeping heat index values
below 100 degrees. It will still be hot, however Sunday will
feature the most comfortable conditions experienced in the last
~7 days and for at least the next 5-7 days.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 122 AM CDT Sun Aug 2 2026
By Monday, the upper ridge will expand back over the Southern
Plains bringing about another prolonged period of hot and dry
weather to North and Central Texas. Tuesday will likely feature
the hottest temperatures of the week with afternoon highs
approaching 104 degrees at a few locations across North Texas. A
Heat Advisory may be necessary once again by Tuesday for several
counties in North and Central Texas. Rain chances will remain near
zero through much of the work week. There is some signal that low
end rain chances may return in the Friday-Saturday timeframe next
week as guidance is highlighting a weakness in the upper ridge
allowing for afternoon/evening seabreeze convection to surge
northward into our far southeastern Brazos Valley counties or
maybe even some weakening MCS activity out of Oklahoma. Stay cool
out there this week! We are making steady progress toward the fall
season lol!
