Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Richland Hills, TX

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 1206 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Expect a warm, breezy, and mostly dry start to this weekend as the Southern Plains upper-level ridge begins to expand to the northeast. Light precipitation echoes are currently being seen on radar near the Red River, however, dry air underneath the cloud deck will evaporate most if not all precipitation before it reaches the ground. We cannot rule out a sprinkle or two on the ground, and have included a 10% chance for sprinkles through mid- afternoon near and north of US-380. Otherwise, expect the rest of today to be warm and dry, with afternoon highs in the mid-upper 90s. High humidity will push heat indices to between 100-104. Some isolated spots may reach a heat index of 105. Lee cyclogenesis in the Panhandles will tighten the surface pressure gradient, resulting in elevated wind speeds and gusts. Gusts up to 30-35 mph are likely this afternoon.

Continued breezy conditions overnight will keep the boundary layer decoupled, resulting in warm overnight low temperatures in the mid 70s. With increasing subsidence and little overnight relief, high temperatures will once again peak in the low 90s to around 100. Heat indices will remain in the upper 90s to around 104 tomorrow afternoon. Gusty south winds 15-25 mph with gusts between 30-35 are likely, though isolated gusts to around 40 mph are not out of the question. The majority of North and Central Texas will remain below Wind Advisory criteria this weekend, with only isolated spots reaching/exceeding the 2-hour criteria. At this time, a Wind Advisory is not planned due to how isolated met criteria would be.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 1206 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Hot, humid, and dry conditions will persist through the rest of the forecast area going into the first half of next week. Gusty winds will remain through both Sunday and Monday, with peak daily gusts between 30-35 (isolated gusts up to 40 mph) mph for most. A Wind Advisory is not anticipated at this time, but we will continue to keep an eye on future guidance. Eventually, the center of the upper ridge will shift off to the northeast into the Missouri River Valley, allowing the winds to recede in strength.
Expect heat to remain the biggest forecast concern, as high temperatures begin to increase towards the triple digit mark. NBM probabilities of > 99 degrees begin to increase across the region next week. Out west, upper-level troughing will become established over the western CONUS, with North and Central Texas within south- southwesterly flow aloft. The forecast is generally expected to remain dry, with majority of any precipitation staying outside of the FWD CWA Triple digit heat indices between 100-105 are likely for most, with some areas exceeding 105 degrees. A Heat Advisory may be needed for some areas in North and Central Texas later this weekend into next week, but this decision will be made in future forecast updates.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 541 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Gusty south winds will continue across the region sustained at 10-15 knots gusting 25-30 knots. Wind gusts should subside during the overnight and morning hours (generally between 02Z and 17Z)
though occasional gusts between 20-30 kts can't be ruled out at all TAF sites (strongest across Metroplex TAF sites). Only have a separate overnight FM group at DFW and DAL to account for potential minor impacts due to crosswinds for their diagonal runways. There is also the potential for SCT to BKN low-stratus (025-030) at TAF sites between 07Z and 14Z (30-40% chance).
Current probabilities are to low to warrant MVFR cigs in TAFs at this time.
