.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 114 AM CST Tue Nov 3 2026

Northwesterly winds are diminishing across the area this morning
behind a cold front that moved through yesterday. The air behind
the front is not too much cooler, but it is much drier than air
ahead of the front which will allow temperatures to drop into the
40s and low 50s for lows this week. Highs will be seasonal
reaching the upper 60s to 70s for most locations.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 114 AM CST Tue Nov 3 2026

The extended upper pattern remains zonal, meaning systems will be
traveling mainly west to east. The lack of amplification of the
pattern prevents any cold air from Canada from making into West
Texas and eastern New Mexico. In addition, westerly flow will
keep moisture to our east eliminating most rain chances. A weak
cold front arrives Thursday which could bring some isolated to
scattered showers and storms to the Big Bend, but overall the
forecast will be dry. Temperatures will also be seasonal with
highs in the 60s and 70s.
