...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 217 AM CDT Thu Jun 20 2024

Abundant cloud cover is expected today across the southern two-
thirds of the area as Tropical Storm Alberto continues to move
across southern Texas. Far western north Texas may see a few
thunderstorms along the outer bands, but chances are quite low.
The aforementioned cloud cover will help keep high temperatures in
the upper 80s for most of the area. Mostly cloudy skies will keep
low temperatures tonight get below 70F.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 217 AM CDT Thu Jun 20 2024

The main message in the long term will be the heat concerns
during the latter part of the weekend and into next week. A mid-
level ridge is expected to move westward over our area starting
Saturday. These height rises will foster and increase in high
temperatures area-wide. Many locations will see near triple digit
heat for several days in a row starting Sunday. Near-record
temperatures are very much a possibility as high temperatures of
100-105F are expected for several days. Mid range models suggest
that the heat will stick around through the end of next week, when
the aforementioned ridge finally starts to break down.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 924 PM CDT Wed Jun 19 2024

VFR conditions to continue.

Isolated showers will remain possible tonight and across the south
on Thursday. However chances remain too low at this time to
include in any individual TAF. Otherwise, light east to southeast
winds with abundant cu and mid clouds, especially during the day
tomorrow.
