.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 140 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024

High pressure aloft centered over West Central Texas will begin to
slowly shift to the southeast today, gradually shifting southerly
flow aloft to a more southwesterly fetch across the area. This
will keep warm and dry conditions across the region through the
short-term forecast, with afternoon high temperatures ranging in
the mid 90s to near 102 and overnight lows in the low to mid 70s.
These southerly winds are expected to become breezy later this
morning and into the early evening hours, ranging from 10 to 20
mph with some gusts up to 30 mph.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 327 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024

Cooler temperatures are on the way early next week, along with an
increase in rain chances. Sunday will remain hot, with afternoon
highs just a tad cooler than today, with afternoon highs ranging
from the mid/upper 90s east, to around 100 degrees across western
sections. A weak cold is still expected to move into the Big
Country Sunday evening and will likely stall near or just south
of the I-20 corridor on Monday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
will be possible mainly along and north of the front beginning
Sunday evening and continuing into Tuesday, as several disturbances
affect the region. Shear and instability will be high enough to
possibly support a few severe storms on Monday, with large hail
and damaging winds the main hazards. Will maintain a low to medium
chance of precipitation through the period, highest across the
Big Country. Temperatures will be cooler early next week,
especially on Monday with highs expected to be in the upper 80s
and lower 90s. Tuesday will be warmer, as the front lifts north,
with highs ranging from the lower 90s across the eastern Big
Country and Heartland, to the mid and upper 90s elsewhere.

Dry weather is expected by mid to late week, as the upper ridge
builds back into the area from the west. Afternoon highs are
expected to be in the mid 90s over eastern sections, and in the
upper 90s to low 100s across western sections.
