&& .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through next Friday) Issued at 125 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2024 A shortwave will move through the southern plains Saturday within overall ridging. No significant impacts from this feature are expected in our area. A large trough will develop over the western half of the U. S. by Monday, with ridging over the southeastern states. Ridging will be maintained over west central Texas, keeping our forecast mainly dry and hot from Saturday through Tuesday. Highs will be in the mid 90s to around 100, with lows generally in the 70s. By the second half of next week, models continue to indicate upper level troughing over the western Gulf of Mexico, moving into the southern Texas coast. There is even the possibility of a tropical disturbance developing late next week. Should a tropical wave/disturbance be able to move westward into southern Texas, we could see an increase in moisture and chance for showers and thunderstorms. Precipitation chances will remain in the 20 to 30 percent range for the second half of next week, along with high temperatures cooling into the upper 80s to lower 90s. && .AVIATION...
