.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 108 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024

The center of upper level high pressure will slowly move east,
bringing the region into weak southwest flow aloft Saturday. West
Central Texas, however, will still be dominated by the upper high
pressure with warm and dry conditions. Highs in the upper 90s to
102 are expected with the warmest temperatures in the Big
Country, Concho Valley, and around Junction. Dew points will not
be as high, Saturday, with 60s falling into the 50s in the
afternoon. This will keep heat indices mainly in the 90s.
Southerly winds will be breezy at times, particularly in the Big
Country, where gusts of 30 mph possible.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 213 AM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024

Expect mainly hot and dry conditions this weekend due to an upper
level ridge over the area and 850 MB thermal ridge over western
Texas. Highs will be in the upper 90s to around 103.

Expect a little break from the hot and dry weather, with a chance of
rain early next week as a cold front moves through and a few weak
upper level disturbances move by. Going with low to medium chance
of showers and thunderstorms Sunday night and Monday, with low
rain chances across the north Monday night. There may be enough
instability and deep layer shear for an isolated severe storm or
two Sunday and Monday. Going with a dry and warmer forecast
Tuesday through Thursday as the upper level ridge re-builds across
the Southern Rockies extending east into western Texas, with
highs back in the triple digits across southern and western areas
Thursday.
