.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Thursday)
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

The upper-level high will shift westward slight by tonight, with
continued benign weather for much of West Central Texas tonight
and into Thursday. However, a slight chance of isolated showers
and thunderstorms are possible mainly across the Northern Edwards
Plateau through early this evening. Expect winds from the
northeast to east today at 5-15 mph, becoming light and variable
again overnight, under partly cloudy to mostly clear skies and
overnight lows in the low to mid 60s. Highs on Thursday are
expected to reach into the mid 80s to low 90s.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 112 PM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

The upper-level ridge that has resulted in warm weather is
expected to maintain it`s grip on west Texas this weekend into
early next week. Although there was a passage of a surface frontal
boundary this week, southerly return flow will quickly set up
starting Friday. This will push high temperatures into the low 90s
for much of the area this weekend through early next week. This
is 5-10 degrees above normal for this time of year but is not
expected to be near record for this weekend. For reference,
records for the 10th-12th are around 100, last set in 2020. By
early next week, however, highs could be "near-record" with highs
in the low to mid 90s (the record for Abilene on Oct 14th is 94).
A drier airmass will also move into the region on Friday with
dewpoints dropping to the upper 40s and low 50s on Saturday. Given
the stout ridge and drier airmass in place, rain chances will
remain next to nothing through the middle of next week.
