Heat Safety

A Heat Advisory is in effect on Tuesday from 1 PM until 8 PM for the Rolling Plains and far southeast Texas Panhandle. Temperatures of 105-109° are likely. Limit time outdoors and stay hydrated.

It will be warm again tonight with lows in the upper 70s to near 80.

High temperatures for Wednesday are forecast to be in the low 100s on the Caprock and between 105-109 off the Caprock. These temperatures are just a few degrees shy of the record highs. Limit time outdoors, and stay hydrated!

The prolonged heat continues to be the main story this week. Daily high temperatures will be near 100 on the Caprock, and in the lower triple digits off the Caprock. Heat Advisories may be needed at times off the Caprock. While there are a few low rain chances each evening through Friday, most of the region will stay dry.

Above normal temperatures are likely to continue through the remainder of August (60-80% chance) and are favored to persist into the first week of September (40-50% chance). Normal high temperatures are in the upper 80s and low 90s, so expect the 90+ degree temperatures to continue for the foreseeable future.

A prolonged stretch of hot temperatures is expected this week and into next week. Follow these tips to stay safe during the heat, and visit weather.gov/safety/heat for more information.
