.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 1254 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025

An upper level ridge will continue to dominate the weather across
Texas. This will result in unseasonably warm and dry conditions
across West Central Texas. The record high temperature on November
15th at Abilene is 85 while it is 86 at San Angelo. Abilene has a
high chance of breaking or tying the record while San Angelo has a
medium chance of tying or breaking the record. Expect highs across
the area in the mid 80s to near 90.

Overnight lows will be mild, in the mid 50s to lower 60s. Stratus is
forecast to overspread the southern half of the area by daybreak,
with mostly clear skies returning by mid to late morning.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Friday)
Issued at 146 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025

Well-above normal temperatures are expected to continue on Sunday as
the persistent upper-level ridge will remain in place until Monday.
Despite the intrusion of a weak cold front, Sunday looks to be the
warmest day due to the strength of the ridge. The daily records for
high temperatures on Sunday are 86 in Abilene and 87 in San Angelo.
Forecast highs at these locations are expected to tie or break these
records that day.  The ridge will start to break down on Monday as
an upper-level trough will push out of the Desert Southwest into the
central Plains.  Another warm and somewhat breezy day can be
expected, although it should be several degrees cooler than Sunday.

A pattern change is in store for the middle to latter half of next
week.  Models show a strong upper-level trough that should dig into
northern Mexico Wednesday and Thursday. Ahead of this feature,
plenty of gulf moisture looks to be advected into west central Texas
with a decent amount of instability.  As a result, models show
medium (40-70%) chances of rain and thunderstorms for Tuesday night
through Thursday, which has trended higher each day.  Amounts,
severity, and timing will vary quite a bit over the next few days
depending on how the track of the main trough evolves.  For now,
this feature will continue to be monitored for finer details.

VFR conditions have returned to all sites late this morning.
Stratus is again expected to develop after 10Z at the southern
sites and then approach KSJT by 12Z. This will result in MVFR
ceilings initially, with IFR conditions developing at KSOA and
KJCT around 12Z. Expect VFR conditions to return by mid to late
morning. Gusty south winds will decrease to 10 knots or less this
