.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 133 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

The upper-level ridge will continue to be the predominant weather 
feature on Friday.  This means hot and dry conditions will persist 
across the region with high temperatures in the upper 90s to low 
100s. Conditions should remain below Heat Advisory criteria. Looking 
ahead to this weekend, models remain in good agreement that the 
ridge will shift to the northern Plains and strengthen.  Meanwhile 
an area of mid-level vorticity will rotate around the base of this 
ridge into the southern Plains.  The low-level flow should become 
more southeasterly during this time and advect more gulf moisture 
into west central Texas.  As a result, this should lead to a more 
unsettled pattern across the region with higher chances for showers 
and thunderstorms especially Sunday through Tuesday.
