.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 159 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024

As of this afternoon, skies were partly cloudy with temperatures
hovering around 90 and winds from the south at 10 to 15 MPH.  Unlike
the past few days an upper level ridge, currently located over the
Tennessee Valley, has started to build in across central Texas. This
feature should help to suppress most chances for rain today and
tomorrow and allow warmer temperatures to occur. Another round of
nocturnal stratus is expected to develop and build in late tonight
across the Edwards Plateau and northwest Hill Country areas.  This
cloud cover should burn off by late morning.  Other than a few
showers along and south of the I-10 corridor this afternoon,
precipitation is not expected through tomorrow evening.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 341 AM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024

Hot and dry conditions are in store for our area Sunday well into
next week. An upper level ridge will be centered over Texas Sunday
into the first part of the week, before retrograding a little
farther west over New Mexico by midweek. The ridge is then
progged to shift east to the Red River Valley around Friday. With
the close proximity of the ridge and associated subsidence,
no rain is expected temperatures will be above normal for our
area with hot days and warm nights. Other than some early morning
low clouds over our southern and southeastern counties, skies will
mostly clear each day.

Highs Sunday will be mostly in the mid to upper 90s. For the work
week, expect much of the Concho Valley and Big Country to have highs
100-103 degrees, with mid to upper 90s in the Heartland and our
southern counties. Afternoon heat indices are expected to be near to
a few degrees above the ambient temperatures, most notably in our
Big Country and Heartland counties. Morning lows will be mostly in
the mid 70s for our southern and central counties, and generally in
the upper 70s in the Big Country.
