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.

(Wednesday through Monday)

Hot and dry conditions will continue as a strong upper ridge
persists over the region. Highs in the 99 to 104 range into
Friday may decrease a degree or two this week, as the upper ridge
slightly weakens. But this will be temporary, as the upper ridge
builds back in next week. Heat indices may flirt with heat
advisory criteria of 105 Wednesday into Friday, particularly in
the Big Country. Will continue to monitor for possible advisory.

In general, VFR conditions will prevail across area terminals
through Tuesday evening. Some brief MVFR cigs developed on Monday
morning across the southern terminals and may see a repeat around
sunrise this morning at KJCT and KSOA, but anything that develops
should remain limited. Otherwise, south to southeast winds will
prevail and will continue to be gusty at times during daylight
hours.
