.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1221 AM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

Expect hot and dry conditions today with temperatures around or
slightly above normal. Highs will be in the 90s across much of the
area and around 100 across the northwest Big Country. Overnight
lows will be in the 70s. 

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 226 PM CDT Tue Jul 7 2026

The upper-level ridge will continue to be the main feature through 
Friday.  This means hot and dry conditions will persist across the 
region during this time with high temperatures in the upper 90s to 
low 100s.  Conditions should remain below Heat Advisory criteria but 
this will be monitored. A new area of low pressure will develop at 
the surface across Oklahoma and Kansas by Thursday. As a result, 
southerly winds will become breezier with gusts over 20 MPH at 
times each afternoon. Looking ahead to this weekend, models are in
good agreement that the ridge will shift to the northern Plains 
and strengthen. An area of vorticity will rotate around the base 
of this ridge into the southern Plains. This should lead to a more
unsettled pattern with increased rain chances and slightly cooler
temperatures.
