.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.
