Heat Safety

Breezy west winds Sunday morning will turn northeast in the afternoon at 20-30 mph with gusts to 40 mph. Combined with hot and very dry air, critical fire weather conditions are likely.

Following an afternoon of record heat, temperatures will only drop into the 50s over much of the Caprock tonight. Off the Caprock, lows in the lower to middle 60s will be common tonight.

A cold front will move through the region Sunday afternoon, complete with breezy northerly winds and cooler air. However, ahead of the front, temperatures will still soar into the 90s, with a few triple digits found over the Rolling Plains and southern South Plains.

After a brief cool down on Monday, the heat will return for much of this coming week. Another cold front may arrive late-week, providing some relief.

Very warm to even hot temperatures are forecast Thursday through Saturday, with triple-digit temperatures possible in the Rolling Plains by the end of the week. Know the signs of heat illness!
