.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 120 PM CDT Wed Aug 27 2025

Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms have developed from
the Concho Valley east into Heartland and Northwest Hill Country
areas. High resolution models are in good agreement that this
activity will end around or shortly after 7 PM this evening, so
will keep the dry forecast going for tonight into Thursday
morning. Lows tonight will be similar to the last few days in the
upper 60s to mid 70s.

On Thursday, a drier and hotter forecast is expected, with a
slight strengthening in the upper level ridge. At the surface,
southeasterly winds tonight will shift to the south/southwest
tomorrow morning, and increase to 10 to 20 mph. The southwesterly
component to the winds will aid in heating, resulting in warmer
temperatures tomorrow in the mid 90s to near 100 degrees.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 1253 PM CDT Wed Aug 27 2025

On Friday, an upper level ridge will be centered across West Texas
and eastern New Mexico. Meanwhile a cold front will move south into
the Big Country Friday morning, then stall somewhere across the area
(most likely across central portions of the area). Isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible along the
front. Highs on Friday will be in the low to mid 90s across the Big
Country to the mid to upper 90s elsewhere.

Saturday into Sunday, the aforementioned upper level ridge will
shift slightly west, placing West Central Texas in northwest flow
aloft, with intermittent disturbances tracking across the region. In
addition, the remnant front should serve as a focus for shower and
thunderstorm development. This is one of those situation where rain
chances will continue through most of the weekend, but don`t expect
rain all weekend. There will likely be a couple or more rounds of
showers and thunderstorms, as shortwave energy rotates south and
east across the region. At this point, the highest rain chances will
most likely be Saturday night into Sunday morning. The main threat
with this activity will be locally heavy rainfall, which may result
in flooding. Highs on Saturday will be in the mid 80s to mid 90s.
with highs on Sunday in the low to mid 80s, well below seasonal
normals. Early next week, the better rain chances are forecast to
shift south of the area, although isolated to scattered showers are
possible, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours.
Temperatures will continue to be below seasonal normals, with highs
generally in the 80s.
