(Today and tonight) Issued at 337 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024 ...Continued Above Normal Temperatures Today... Upper level ridge axis will continue to be the dominant weather maker across West Central Texas through tonight. Not much change in air mass so temperatures will be pretty close to where they were yesterday, with highs climbing into the low to mid 90s areawide look completely reasonable. Record high for San Angelo for today is 102, but only a relatively cool 97 at Abilene and that record may well be in jeopardy for this afternoon. MOrning lows continue to inch up a little with lows in the low to mid 70s most areas. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 240 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024 ...Above Normal Temperatures and Dry...

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1242 PM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024 Expect some scattered afternoon cumulus clouds this afternoon, with mainly clear skies to tonight. South winds will gust between 15 and 20 knots primarily at KSJT and KJCT this afternoon, with light winds across the terminals by early evening. Could see some stratus develop again towards daybreak across the southern terminals but coverage uncertainty will preclude mentioning in the forecast at this time.
