.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 215 AM CDT Fri Jun 14 2024

The benign pattern looks to continue for the short-term with
longwave ridging extending northeast out of the Baja California
region into Western Texas. Highs today will range from the lower
90s across our eastern counties to around 101 for western portions
of the Concho Valley and Big Country. The "cooler" temperatures
to the east will be due to higher dewpoints in the upper 60s to
near 70 sticking around through the afternoon. As we move through
today, the ridge will begin to weaken as a shortwave impulse moves
out of the Southern Rockies and into the Texas Panhandle but any
shower/storm activity associated with this should stay well off to
our north and west. Overnight lows will be similar to the past
few nights in the low to mid 70s under mostly clear skies.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 144 PM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024

An upper level ridge will develop over the area by Friday. A weak
shortwave will move through the southern plains Saturday, but is
not expected to result in any discernible change in our weather
here. A large trough will develop over the western half of the U.
S. by Monday, with ridging over the southeastern states, with the
western periphery of this ridge holding over our area, keeping our
forecast mainly dry and hot. Highs will average in the mid 90s to
around 100 degrees, with lows mainly in the 70s. The next
mentionable chance for precipitation isn`t expected until the
second half of next week.

VFR conditions currently present across the area. A small deck of
