LONG TERM
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 250 AM CDT Sat Jul 27 2024

Upper level high pressure will move overhead on Sunday as the persistent upper trough over East Texas will have finally lifted northeastward to the mid-Mississippi Valley. The center of the ridge will move just to the east of the forecast area Monday but with the area definitely under the influence of the ridge. The center of the ridge will shift from the eastern half of Texas early in the week to the intermountain West by the end of the week. As a result temperatures (both highs and lows) will increase Sunday, peaking midweek, then slightly decreasing late week with the center of the ridge moving to our northwest. Precipitation chances should be minimal through midweek, although with the adjustment of the ridge to the northwest by Thursday night, there could be some thunderstorms develop along a surface trough late day/evening with a slight chance mention across the northwestern zones looking plausible.
