.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Saturday)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Fri Sep 18 2026

Warm and muggy overnight, and hot and dry conditions expected for
the start of the weekend across West Central Texas through
Saturday. Strong upper-level ridging will persist across the area,
keeping overnight lows in the low to mid 70s, and Saturday`s high
temperatures in mid 90s to around 100. These above normal
temperatures will remain in place through Saturday evening.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Friday)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Fri Sep 18 2026

A strong high pressure ridge will remain steadfast across the
region, keeping hot and dry conditions across West Central Texas
through the end of the weekend. By Sunday afternoon and Monday, a
series of embedded disturbances aloft will track through the area,
bringing some increased shower and thunderstorm chances to the
area through at least mid next week. The weakening of the upper-
level ridge will allow for low to medium chances (20-50%) for
precipitation. A weak cold frontal boundary may be just strong
enough to drop temperatures a few degrees for much of next week,
with highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s, and overnight lows in the
mid 60s to low 70s.

.AVIATION...

VFR conditions expected to persist through the next 24 hours for

at KJCT tomorrow morning, but will hold off on introducing low
clouds for now, and allow later forecasts to address this.
Otherwise, southeasterly winds between 5 and 10 knots this
afternoon and evening, becoming more southerly later tonight and
into Saturday morning.
