...New Short Term, Aviation...

.SHORT TERM... /NEW/
/Through Friday Evening/

North flow aloft and at the surface will continue to provide dry
and seasonable weather across North and Central Texas, as an upper
low meanders over western Tennessee while a ridge remains planted
over the Desert Southwest. Another pleasant night will be the
result for tonight with lows ranging from the upper 50s to lower
60s (even cooler in some of the valley locations). Plentiful sun
will return on Friday with highs climbing back into the 80s.
Surface winds will become light north to light and variable
tonight as low level flow decouples, then will increase to
10-15 MPH by midday Friday.

.LONG TERM... /Issued 300 PM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024/
Update:

No major changes were made with this latest forecast update.
Seasonably pleasant weather conditions will last through the
weekend into next week, with a gradual warming trend continuing
across all of North and Central Texas. Afternoon highs will range
in the mid to upper 80s with overnight lows in the 50s and 60s.
Uncertainty grows beyond the start of next week, where there is a
low chance for the passage of another cold front sometime in the
middle of next week. Continue to check back for updates!

/Friday Night Onward/

A rain-free and mostly seasonable forecast is in store for the
next several days. North and Central Texas will remain generally
under the influence of drier, northerly flow aloft through the
next week, with ridging situated to the west and troughing across
the eastern U.S.

Highs this weekend will reach the mid and upper 80s with overnight
lows in the low/mid 60s, with the exception of some locations out
west dropping into the upper 50s. The start of the work week will
be slightly above normal with a few readings in the low 90s as
ridging expands further east. An upper level trough will extend
south out of Canada and shift east early next week, sending a
cold front through much of the Plains and into the Midwest.
Currently, this doesn`t look to have much cold air behind it for
North & Central Texas, and will likely not have much of an impact
on temperatures; however, there is not much run to run consistency
yet on the strength of this front and how far south the trough
will dig.
