.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 143 PM CDT Tue Aug 13 2024

A high pressure ridge will continue to sit across the region through
the remainder of today and tomorrow. As a result, temperatures will
be a touch hotter for tomorrow. For this reason, we will expand out
the Heat Advisory in area, and time, to include all of the Big
Country through Wednesday evening. Heat indices, and
temperatures, can reach up to 107 degrees across the I-20 corridor
and northward. Elsewhere, temperatures will be in the 100 to 103
degree range. Our normal high temperature for this time of year is
right around 98 degrees, so we are a few degrees warmer than
normal.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 202 PM CDT Tue Aug 13 2024

A strong upper level ridge is currently centered over northern TX
and southern OK. On Thursday, an upper trough moving through the
central and southern plains may weaken the ridge slightly, but
this will not make much difference in our weather here. We are
still expecting highs from the upper 90s to around 105 on
Thursday, with very little chance for precipitation.

On Friday, the center of the ridge will re-center over the
southwestern CONUS. As we move through the weekend into early next
week, the upper ridge will strengthen, while meandering around
the southern plains and southwestern CONUS. This will keep
temperatures very hot, with Heat Advisories needed in more areas,
and potentially Excessive Heat Warnings needed for parts of the
area by early next week. |
