.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 337 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024

...Continued Above Normal Temperatures Today...

Upper level ridge axis will continue to be the dominant weather
maker across West Central Texas through tonight. Not much change
in air mass so temperatures will be pretty close to where they
were yesterday, with highs climbing into the low to mid 90s
areawide look completely reasonable. Record high for San Angelo
for today is 102, but only a relatively cool 97 at Abilene and
that record may well be in jeopardy for this afternoon. MOrning
lows continue to inch up a little with lows in the low to mid 70s
most areas.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 240 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024

...Above Normal Temperatures and Dry...

Expect hot and mainly dry conditions through much of the long term
as a strong upper level ridge centers over the Southern Plains.
Temperatures will be above normal with highs in the 90s through
Saturday. Slightly cooler temperatures are possible early next
week with highs in the mid 80s to lower 90s. Expect warm and humid
conditions during the nights.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1242 PM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024

Expect some scattered afternoon cumulus clouds this afternoon,
with mainly clear skies to tonight. South winds will gust between
15 and 20 knots primarily at KSJT and KJCT this afternoon, with
light winds across the terminals by early evening. Could see some
stratus develop again towards daybreak across the southern
terminals but coverage uncertainty will preclude mentioning in
the forecast at this time.
