Dangerous heat will build across the southern Plains again beginning this weekend. Heavy to excessive rain over the Carolinas Friday may lead to isolated areas of flash flooding. Read More >

Last Map Update: Sat, Aug 29, 2026 at 3:32:13 am CDT

The high pressure heat dome is returning to the desert southwest and southern plains, meaning record or near record breaking heat is likely over our area this weekend. On Saturday Amarillo and Borger look to tie or break the record high for this date while Dalhart will be a couple degrees off the record.
The high pressure and associated heat dome will remain entrenched across portions of the desert southwest and southern plains on Sunday. This will allow for record to near record high temperatures on Sunday. Very little chance of rain during this period. The far northwest portion of the area (near Kenton OK) could have a 15% or less chance of rain late Sunday night.
