(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 223 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024 Hot and dry is the name of the game for west central Texas...with upper level ridging firmly in control over the southwestern U.S. It will be mild tonight, with temperatures only dropping into the mid to upper 70s. Rinse and repeat for Tuesday afternoon, with temperatures ticking a couple of degrees warmer than today. Highs will be in the 98-103 range, with the highest readings across the Concho Valley and Big Country. The main issue will be feels like temperatures especially across portions of the Big Country where heat index values may reach or exceed 105 degrees. Will hold off on a heat advisory with this forecast package given the uncertainty with how high dewpoints will be. But will continue to monitor dewpoint trends and issue an advisory with the next forecast package if heat index values continue to trend up. && .LONG TERM...

The hot and dry conditions will be the main result of this. Expect heat indices in the 102-108 degree range through the end of the work week. A Heat Advisory may be needed for the middle of this week as there remains a risk of heat related illness given the prolonged period of heat.
