.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.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 223 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 2024


Hot and dry conditions will continue into the middle of next
week. A weakness in the upper ridge, however, may bring a slight
chance of thunderstorms to the Big Country late Thursday...4th of
July.

On Saturday, high temperatures fall a couple degrees into the
upper 90s to 103 range. However, with heat indices still flirting
with 105 in the Big Country, Concho Valley and Heartland...the heat
advisory may need to be extended. Sunday to Monday, heat
advisories may temporarily be lifted as temperatures and heat
indices fall yet another degree or two. However, it will remain
hot, with highs in the 97 to 102 range. Temperatures and heat
indices then increase back to heat advisory criteria, at least for
portions of West Central Texas, Tuesday into Thursday.
