.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 115 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

With the overall setup of an upper level high gradually becoming
recentered westward over Texas today and tonight, our weather will
be quiet for the most part. Our southern counties, mainly in parts
of Northern Edwards Plateau, will have a possibility for a few
isolated showers or a thunderstorm today. This is where some
deeper moisture remains. Otherwise, skies will be partly cloudy
over our area today, and afternoon highs will be in the mid to
upper 80s. Expect winds from the northeast to east today at 6-12
mph. With partly cloudy to mostly clear skies tonight, overnight
lows will be in the lower to mid 60s with generally light east
winds.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 1249 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

the upper level ridge will dominate the pattern during the long
term. Expect above normal temperatures and dry weather. The
warmest days will be Saturday and Sunday with highs in the upper
80s to mid 90s. Otherwise, highs will be in the 80s to around 90
for the other days. Expect elevated fire weather conditions
Saturday across the Big Country due to gusty winds and dry fuels.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 630 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

VFR conditions are expected at our TAF sites through the next 24
hours. Having mentioned this, some patchy low cloud cover (with
MVFR ceilings) have developed over parts of northwest Texas and
a little of this could develop over the Big Country between 12Z
and 15Z. This may potentially affect KABI briefly, but confidence
is too low to include in their TAF. But will monitor satellite
and observational trends and update if needed. Overall, skies
will be partly cloudy today, and winds will be generally from the
northeast to east at 5-10 knots. Our southern counties, mainly in
the Northern Edwards Plateau, will have a possibility for a few
isolated showers or a thunderstorm today. The possibility looks
looks remote enough to not include a mention in any of our TAFs.
Partly cloudy skies early tonight should become mostly clear
overnight. Winds will be generally from the east tonight with
speeds decreasing to less than 5 knots.
