.KEY MESSAGES...

- Drier, warmer, and quieter weather finally arrives today and
  continues through the weekend and early next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025

FINALLY. Quiet weather is expected for the short term period with
more typical Summer-time temperatures and humidity. A quick look at
the GOES-19 WV imagery shows Subtropical Ridging to our east, which
should begin expanding westward into South Central Texas through mid
to late week. In the northern Gulf, Invest 93L remains rather
disorganized and is ultimately expected to move inland over
Mississippi or Louisiana by late week. Some moisture from this
system may work inland over SE Texas on Friday, but ultimately, rain
chances are rather low, less than 20% and only over the Coastal
Plains Friday afternoon and evening. In the meantime, expect muggy,
mostly cloudy mornings with temperatures in the 70s and mostly
sunny, hot afternoons with highs in the mid to upper 90s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025

Once 93L moves inland, we should see ridging strengthen this weekend
into early next week. Hot temperatures, something it seems like we
haven`t seen much of at all this Summer, will actually return for
the next week and beyond, with dry weather also expected. Highs in
the mid to upper 90s with heat indices in the 100-17 range will be
common through the long term period, so be sure to hydrate and take
frequent breaks if you plan to be outdoors.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)

VFR conditions will prevail at all terminals through the
evening. Winds will be gusty from the south to southeast until
around sunset when we should lose the gusts. MVFR ceilings will
develop in the Austin and San Antonio areas overnight, but only
last until around sunrise. Winds will be gusty again at DRT
Thursday afternoon.
