.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1241 AM CDT Sat Jul 25 2026

High pressure will remain over the region through tonight,
yielding another round of warm temperatures throughout the day
today and into tonight. Conditions today will be slightly drier,
which will help with seeing lower heat index values today.
Therefore we are expecting heat indices to remain below advisory
criteria for today. However, it will still be warm out there with
afternoon high temperatures in the 90s south of I-20, and in the
90s to 102 degrees from I-20 north today. Another warm and humid
night tonight as well, with overnight low temperatures in the 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 1240 AM CDT Sat Jul 25 2026

Expect very warm to hot temperatures Sunday as the 500 MB heights
are little lower and low level moisture is less during the
afternoon(upper 50s to lower 60s). Highs will range from the low to
mid 90s south, to 100 to 102 across the northwest Concho Valley and
western half of the Big Country. Looks like a Heat Advisory will not
be needed. The upper level ridge will expand eastward by next week.
This will result in hotter temperatures returning, with Heat
Advisories likely for portions of the area once again. Please follow
heat safety precautions if you have to be outside.

Low cloud cover developed as far north as the Northern Edwards

expect the cloud cover to gradually break up during the afternoon.
For late tonight and early Sunday morning, expect any low cloud
development to remain south and southeast of our area. Generally
south winds will be 9-12 knots this afternoon, with occasional
gusts 18-20 knots. A few wind gusts over 20 knots are possible at
KABI. South winds will decrease this evening to near 10 knots at
KABI, 5-10 knots at KSJT and KBBD, and 5 knots or less at our
southern terminals. South winds will increase again by mid-to-late
Sunday morning with a few gusts around 18 knots expected at KABI
