...New Long Term...

.SHORT TERM... /Issued 1121 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024/
/Through Friday/

The region will remain between an upper ridge to the west and deep
low pressure to the east through the end of the week. This
pattern will keep dry, northerly flow in place, resulting in a
mostly clear sky and near seasonal normal temperatures. The
beautiful early fall weather should work well for the many outdoor
events taking place this weekend around the region. Overnight
lows tonight and Friday night will be mainly in the upper 50s to
the middle 60s. Highs this afternoon will be in the lower and
middle 80s, with middle and upper 80s on Friday afternoon. A north
wind will remain in the 5 to 10 mph range along with some afternoon
gusts around 15 mph, especially Friday.

.LONG TERM... /NEW/
Update:

No major changes were made with this latest forecast update.
Seasonably pleasant weather conditions will last through the
weekend into next week, with a gradual warming trend continuing
across all of North and Central Texas. Afternoon highs will range
in the mid to upper 80s with overnight lows in the 50s and 60s.
Uncertainty grows beyond the start of next week, where there is a
low chance for the passage of another cold front sometime in the
middle of next week. Continue to check back for updates!

/Friday Night Onward/

A rain-free and mostly seasonable forecast is in store for the
next several days. North and Central Texas will remain generally
under the influence of drier, northerly flow aloft through the
next week, with ridging situated to the west and troughing across
the eastern U.S.

Highs this weekend will reach the mid and upper 80s with overnight
lows in the low/mid 60s, with the exception of some locations out
west dropping into the upper 50s. The start of the work week will
be slightly above normal with a few readings in the low 90s as
ridging expands further east. An upper level trough will extend
south out of Canada and shift east early next week, sending a
cold front through much of the Plains and into the Midwest.
Currently, this doesn`t look to have much cold air behind it for
North & Central Texas, and will likely not have much of an impact
on temperatures; however, there is not much run to run consistency
yet on the strength of this front and how far south the trough
will dig.

.AVIATION... /Issued 1121 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024/
/18Z TAFs/

Excellent flying weather is expected across the region through
Friday thanks to a deep layer of dry air in place. The dry air
will keep the sky mostly clear and free of any obstructions to
visibility.

A north wind will prevail in the 5 to 10 knot range along with
occasional higher daytime gusts.
