.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 354 AM CDT Fri May 24 2024

A weak cold front will drop south across the Big Country by this
afternoon, with the dryline advancing into far eastern portions of
the forecast area by late afternoon. CAMs continue to be anemic
regarding convective development this afternoon. Despite the lack
of any appreciable upper level support, isolated strong/severe
storms are possible south of the front and east of the dryline
during peak heating (San Saba and Mason counties). Any storms that
develop will have the potential to produce large hail. Otherwise,
the front should reach portions of the Concho Valley and
Heartland by early evening before lifting back north tonight.
Highs today will range from the upper 80s and lower 90s across
the Big Country, to the upper 90s/low 100s over southern counties.
Lows tonight will be mainly in the 60s.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 133 PM CDT Thu May 23 2024

Most attention on the shorter term today, but still looks like a
hot and dry forecast through Memorial Day for the area. Upper
level ridge moves across the area, helping boost temperatures into
the 100 to 105 range for some areas. Weak shortwave helps bring a
chance of storms, more clouds, and slightly cooler temperatures
for mid week.

(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1247 AM CDT Fri May 24 2024

Stratus is expected to develop across the southern terminals
towards daybreak and linger through the mid/late morning hours
before scattering out to VFR. Haze will also be possible across
the area through the morning hours, reducing visibilities to
around 5SM at times. A weak cold front will move south across the
KABI terminal by 18Z, shifting winds to a northerly direction for
the afternoon hours. The front may make it as far south as KSJT
by mid afternoon before lifting farther north tonight. Any
thunderstorm development this afternoon and evening should
remain east of the terminals.
