.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 325 AM CDT Sun Jun 23 2024

An upper level ridge centered over Texas is our dominant weather
feature. With low-level moisture a little less than yesterday, skies
today will be sunny and anticipate only patchy cumulus development
over our eastern counties. With some expansion of the 850mb
thermal ridge into our area from the west, expect highs this
afternoon to be a little hotter than yesterday. Going with highs
mostly in the mid 90s in our Heartland and southern counties, and
upper 90s to around 100 degrees in the Big Country and the Concho
Valley. South to southeast winds will be 6-12 mph.

For tonight, expect clear skies through most of the night, with
patchy low cloud development over the I-10 corridor toward morning.
Temperatures will be warm with overnight lows in the lower to mid
70s in our southern and central counties, and mostly in the mid 70s
across the Big Country. Southeast winds will become south overnight.

A building 500mb ridge will be the main feature driving weather
conditions throughout next week. The ridge should build in over
Texas with heights topping out at 592 dam, while 850mb
temperatures look to be in the 18-22 deg C range, pushing to 24
deg C by midweek. As a result, afternoon temperatures are expected
to be in the upper 90s to around 100 to start the week, then
reach the 100-105 degree range from Wednesday onward. Southerly
surface flow should also keep humidity levels up, with dewpoints
of 65-70 expected. Overnight lows will likely be in the upper 70s
due to the muggy conditions. One potential limiting factor, given
the steady low-level moisture, could be lingering cloud cover from
nightly stratus decks that may occur from the Concho Valley
southward. These areas could end up being several degrees cooler
than areas north of the Concho Valley.
