.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 128 PM CDT Sat Sep 19 2026

Another hot and breezy day across west central Texas. A few
isolated showers and storms are possible this afternoon and
evening across our far western counties, but most activity will
remain to our west across the higher terrain of west Texas. A
little better chance of isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms across the area on Sunday. The upper ridge will
weaken enough to allow a weak shortwave to move overhead. Have
kept PoPs mostly in the 20-50% range in the afternoon and evening.
The strongest storms will be capable of producing gusty downburst
winds along locally heavy rainfall.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 128 PM CDT Sat Sep 19 2026

The ridge will weaken over our area for the beginning of next
week. This will allow a weak frontal boundary to drag into the
area on Monday and Tuesday. Some weak shortwaves aloft combined
with the surface boundary will allow isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms to develop. Have kept PoPs generally
below 50% given the uncertainty in overall coverage. But we could
some locally heavy rainfall with the stronger storms particularly
on Monday. The ridge looks to expand westward into our area for
the middle to later part of the week which would result in mainly
dry conditions with temperatures creeping back up into the mid
90s. Temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday will be a little cooler
given more cloud cover and lower upper level heights.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1117 AM CDT Sat Sep 19 2026

VFR conditions and light winds will continue through the next 24
hours. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible this
evening across the Trans-Pecos region and Permian Basin, but
should remain west of the TAF sites.
