Temperatures are on the increase this weekend. Becoming hot next week, with highs in the low to upper nineties. Very low rain chances through midweek. The upper troffing was given the boot! High pressure locks us down! Climbing through the eighties, nowhere to run! Ridging building in over this town! NINETY DEGREES! NINETY DEGREES! NINETY DEGREES! The sky is locked, the pressure will swell The heat takes control and burns like hell West of the plateau, summer won't yield Blazing over the field! ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWER! IT WON'T SAVE US NOW! RIDGING BUILDING IN! GIVEN THE BOOT! NINETY DEGREES! NINETY DEGREES! NINETY DEGREES! Upper nineties by Thursday! Very low rain chances through midweek! No relief! Blazing over the field!

It's quiet across the area with temperatures climbing into and through the 80s.
The upper troughing has been given the boot and ridging is building in. Highs this afternoon will top out in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
After a few patches of fog overnight, Sunday will be another warm one with highs a couple of degrees warmer than today.
For the most part, we'll be dry this afternoon and tomorrow.
There is a very low chance of an isolated light shower.
LONG TERM
(Sunday Night through next Saturday) Issued at 1009 AM CDT Sat Aug 29 2026
By Monday, the upper ridge will be centered close to the area with temperatures continuing to increase.
That trend will continue through mid to late week.
By Thursday, areas west of the plateau will see highs in the upper 90s.
There may be some weak disturbances that round the southern periphery of the upper high which will introduce some low diurnal storm chances perhaps on Wednesday but more so Thursday and Friday.
