.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 200 AM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024

The upper level ridge centered over and northwest of the area will
continue to produce for most locations a dry forecast through the
short term. Beneath the ridge is a pool of elevated moisture across
the Coastal Plains and there is a 10-20% chance of stray to isolated
tropical showers and thunderstorms in forecast this afternoon across
this area. A few CAMs bring stray showers near the San Antonio metro
area early in the evening. Activity should dissipate after sunset.
Again, most locations will stay dry.

Otherwise warm and humid conditions. This afternoon, some isolated
spots in the Coastal Plains and near the I-35 corridor could see
peak heat index values of around 105-108 degrees. We will issue a
Special Weather Statement for this. Heat index values and the heat
risk increase slightly Tuesday afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 200 AM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024

Typical summer pattern over South Central Texas mid week through
next weekend and beyond. Subtropical Ridge remains centered near or
over our area. Subsidence under the Ridge and a seasonally moist
airmass yield no rain over most areas. Except, the seabreeze may
provide enough forcing to overcome the subsidence to generate a
shower or thunderstorm or two near the Coastal Plains on most
afternoons. Nearly seasonally hot temperatures prevail. Dewpoints
may not mix as efficiently resulting in elevated heat indices. Thus,
Heat Advisories are possible each day for parts of South Central
mainly along and southeast of the I-35 corridor.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1233 AM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024

VFR conditions prevail late this evening. Stratus is forecast to
develop across portions of the I-35 corridor, Hill Country, and
Coastal Plains pre-dawn Monday, producing MVFR ceilings. The stratus
is expected to scatter out 14Z-16Z. Isolated SHRA/TSRA activity is
forecast in the afternoon across the Coastal Plains. A few convective
allowing models bring this isolated activity toward the SAT area
around 00Z. Confidence and coverage is low, and therefore have
excluded mention in the SAT/SSF TAFs.
