.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1239 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025

- Isolated to scattered storms possible each day. More widespread
  activity expected on Monday and Tuesday. Otherwise, rain chances
  focused across southeast New Mexico southward into Davis
  Mountains.

- Gusty winds, heavy rain, lightning, as well as localized
  flooding are main risks with any storms, particularly over the
  Davis Mountains and adjacent plains.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Sunday night)
Issued at 121 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

As in previous days, showers and thunderstorms are developing
in/around the Davis Mountains. Ultimately, outside of the higher
terrain, where thunderstorms develop today yet again depends largely
on where outflow boundaries develop and move. So, while the highest
rain/thunderstorm chances will be in the Davis Mountains (50-60%),
isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms should also be
expected for locations along and west of the Pecos River (20-40%
chance) and into the Permian Basin of West Texas (10-30% chance).
Though the Flood Watch has been cancelled, some flash flooding
concerns remain, particularly for locations in/near the Davis
Mountains (which have received ample rainfall the past few days and
were still dealing with flooded roadways as of this morning). In any
case, by tonight rain and thunderstorm activity wanes, and
temperatures bottom out a couple of degrees above normal (low-to-mid
70s, with typical cool spots in the upper 60s).

Very little changes tomorrow compared to today. Rain and storm
chances once again increase tomorrow afternoon. The best chances (50-
60%) will be in the Davis Mountains, with additional isolated to
scattered thunderstorm development expected later in the day for
roughly the same locations as today. Meanwhile, weak pulses in the
flow aloft will provide added forcing for shower and thunderstorm
development over the northern Permian Basin later in the
afternoon/evening (10-20% chance). Highs top out in the mid-to-upper
90s for most, and lows will be nearly identical to tonight`s.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Friday)
Issued at 121 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

Weak ridging holds to the north and west to begin the coming week
and gradually shifts across the southern half of the US through the
rest of the week. However, undercutting that ridge will be short
wave troughs that will hold over southern New Mexico and over West
Texas. This will keep temperatures in the upper 80s to 90s for
much of the region. This pattern will keep up the quasi-monsoonal
conditions that the western half of the CWA has seen over the last
several days. The best rain chances will continue to be west of
the Pecos River Valley with a gradient of lower chances for the
Permian Basin and Stockton Plateau. The Davis Mountains and
adjacent plains look to benefit the most from this pattern where
ensemble guidance shows another half inch to an inch of rain in
the area over the next few days. Greater amounts may be possible.
While most storms will not be severe, flash flooding will be a
problem for areas that see repeated rain events each day. Forecast
lows remain about the same each day for the extended with most
locations in the low 70s and the higher terrain dipping into the
60s.

VFR conditions will prevail next 24 hours in generally light
return flow. Forecast soundings develop a widespread cu field late
morning, w/bases ~ 4.5 kft AGL. Convection is possible, but
chances are too low for a mention attm.
