...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Sunday through Monday)
Issued at 133 AM CDT Sun Jun 23 2024

After some internal discussion, and some discussion with our
surrounding offices, we just decided to go ahead and issue the
Heat Advisory beginning today. While not all locations in the Heat
Advisory will feel above 105 degrees today, a good portion of the
region will, and almost of it will by Monday. This Heat Advisory
is in effect through at least Tuesday, with extensions the next
few days likely. Aside from the heat, a stray thunderstorm may be
possible in our north zones today, as the flow aloft get pushed
into a pseudo NW pattern, but widespread rainfall is not
anticipated.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 133 AM CDT Sun Jun 23 2024

If I`m being entirely honest, I probably could have issued this
Heat Advisory for the entire week and it would verify. Afternoon
highs will hover in the upper-90s and low-100s well into next
weekend, with heat index values over 105 degrees during this
timeframe as well. Rain chances still appear to increase by
Wednesday as a trough and cold front begin to move through the
Midwest. Unfortunately, the low pressure appears to be forming
farther to east, taking the best rain chances east with it. In
turn, widespread rainfall with this midweek system doesn`t appear
likely. Rain chances will linger in our southern zones for the
remainder of the week, as surface flow turns to the south. This
will allow for the typical diurnal convection that are all to used
to seeing around this time of the year.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1238 AM CDT Sun Jun 23 2024

For the 23/06z TAFS...VFR conditions will prevail during the
period with periods of few to scattered mid to high clouds
streaming over the area, along with some afternoon CU. An
isolated shower or thunderstorm will be possible in our extreme
northern zones, which could move into the airspace at KTXK during
the last of the TAF period. Also, can`t rule out a stray shower
or two during the afternoon and early evening hours across the
remainder of the TAFS. However, confidence isn`t high enough to
include precip in any of the TAFS at this time. Otherwise, expect
light/variable winds overnight to become WSW around 5 kts this
afternoon, before becoming light/variable again after sunset
tomorrow. /20/
