.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 154 PM CDT Thu Jun 27 2024

An upper level ridge will continue to dominate the weather across
West Central Texas through the next 24 hours, resulting generally
dry and hot conditions. An isolated shower or thunderstorms is
possible this afternoon, mainly across our eastern counties, but
most locations are forecast to remain dry. Otherwise, dry
conditions will continue through Friday. Expect overnight lows in
the mid 70s to near 80. Highs on Friday will top out in the 104 to
106 range across much of the Concho Valley, Heartland, and Big
Country. In addition, heat index values in these locations will
top out in the 103 to 108 range so the Heat Advisory has been
extended through 7 PM Friday. Elsewhere, expect highs in the upper
90s to near 100, remaining below Heat Advisory criteria.

(Friday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 204 PM CDT Thu Jun 27 2024

500mb ridge across the southeast and south central United States
Friday night into Saturday will continue to provide hot and dry
conditions across west central Texas into the weekend. Low to mid
level moisture will remain limited through the weekend into early
next as the upper level ridge of high pressure moves little across
northeast Texas and the Arklatex Monday into Wednesday. A
weakness in the 500mb ridge develops towards the end of the
forecast period as a 500mb shortwave trough moves into the
southern plains Thursday. This might provide a slight chance of
showers and thunderstorms for northern portions of the CWA late
Thursday.
