-- Changed Discussion --
(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. && .AVIATION... (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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
