(Today and tonight) Issued at 148 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 A rather rinse-and-repeat forecast is on tap for the short-term. The shortwave trough responsible for this evening`s shower and thunderstorm activity across eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle will continue to move east into Oklahoma today, leaving our area in weak northwest flow aloft. Partly to mostly sunny skies will allow temperatures to climb back into the mid and upper 90s, with some locations in the western Big Country and Concho Valley potentially reaching triple digits. Similar to yesterday, isolated to scattered thunderstorms will form well off to our west across the southern High Plains and the higher terrain of Southwest Texas during the afternoon and evening hours. Unfortunately, hi-resolution guidance consistently shows this activity dissipating as it starts to approach our area so local impacts should be limited to some increased cloud cover, especially across the Big Country. Overnight lows will continue on their mild trend in the low to mid 70s.

(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 148 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 Expect mainly hot and dry conditions through early next week as an upper level ridge builds across the Southern Plains. Highs will be in the 90s to around 102 with lows only cooling into the 70s. Please follow heat safety precautions. An influx of tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and weak upper level disturbances will bring a low chance of showers and a few thunderstorms Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will be cooler with highs in the mid 80s to lower 90s due to potential rainfall and cloud cover.

&& .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1200 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 VFR conditions currently present across the area. Similar to yesterday, a small area of low stratus may develop across the Hill Country and spread north into the KJCT terminal but confidence that this stratus will be MVFR and not lower-end VFR is still low so have left prevailing VFR at all sites for the next 24 hours. Generally light and variable winds overnight will pick up out of the south later this morning before gradually backing more to the southeast during the day. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
