.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Tuesday night)
Issued at 151 PM CST Mon Nov 3 2025

The Short Term period remains quiet and warm. Ridging aloft allows
highs both today and tomorrow to top out in the low-to-mid 80s (with
tomorrow`s temperatures being a couple of degrees warmer). For
reference, these highs are generally 8-12 degrees above normal for
early November. Lows tonight will tend to be 3-5 degrees above
normal (40s and low 50s), becoming 5-10 degrees warmer than average
by tomorrow night. Given the lack of moisture or lift, rain chances
are nil. Temperatures continue to rise into the beginning of the
Long Term Period, with highs approaching record territory Wednesday.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 151 PM CST Mon Nov 3 2025

By midweek, upper level ridging takes hold across the Southern US
and the Gulf. Forecast highs move well above normal Wednesday and
Thursday with most reaching into the mid to upper 80s. For Midland,
the record high on Wednesday is 89F and the current forecast is for
87F. Overnight lows also move above normal with many locations
reaching the the upper 40s and into the 50s. A shortwave trough
glances across the region late Thursday and into Friday. This sends
a weak front through the area and sends temperatures down, but not
below normal. A stronger system moves into the area on Saturday and
sends another front through West Texas and southeast New Mexico.
Temperatures finally fall back to normal to begin next week with
many in the upper 60s to low 70s and 40s overnight. Unfortunately,
none of the expected frontal passages will include rain.
