.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Friday night)
Issued at 209 PM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024

A few isolated showers will remain possible through the afternoon
and early evening. Since they will mainly be diurnally driven,
expect any showers or storms that form to quickly dissipate after
sunset. Temperatures overnight will stay on the muggy side as
easterly to southeasterly surface flow continues.

Subtropical ridging will build in over South Central Texas on
Friday, effectively cutting off any rain chances for the region.
Temperatures will warm slightly, into the mid to upper 90s for all
locations outside of the Rio Grande Plains on Friday. After a few
morning clouds, we should see mainly sunny skies throughout the day.
Not much else can really be said about the short term period as heat
and humidity dominate the forecast through the remainder of the
period.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 209 PM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024

The subtropical ridge will keep dry weather in place at the start of
the long term. High temperatures Saturday and Sunday will mostly be
in the 90s with triple digits confined to the Rio Grande region and
southern I-35 Corridor. Afternoon dewpoint temperatures will remain
mainly in the upper 60s to lower 70s keeping heat indices below
advisory criteria. Sunday afternoon and Monday a midlevel trough will
approach the TX coast from the Gulf and could produce some showers
and thunderstorms over the Coastal Plains each afternoon. Chances
will be better on Monday as the trough gets closer. Models are
showing possible tropical development in the southern Gulf of Mexico
into the middle on next week and increasing chances for convection
into our CWA. Most of the activity will be diurnally driven with
showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and early evening each
day Tuesday through Thursday. Chances will increase and push farther
inland each day.
