.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 1249 PM CST Sat Nov 15 2025

We are starting to sound like a broken record, but above normal
temperatures and dry conditions will continue through the next 24
hours as an upper level ridge continues to dominate the weather
across West Central Texas. Highs this afternoon will likely exceed
the current daily record highs, with most locations topping out in
the mid 80s to lower 90s. Overnight lows will be cool, but well
above seasonal normals, in the mid to upper 50s for most locations.
Highs on Sunday will be in the mid 80s to near 90 for most
locations. A weak front is forecast to stall in the vicinity of the
Big Country, so highs across the northern Big Country will be a few
degrees lower, in the low 80s. The daily record high for November
16th at Abilene is 86 and 87 at San Angelo.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 125 PM CST Sat Nov 15 2025

Our very above normal temperatures will continue through the middle
of next week, with temperatures near record values through Tuesday.
Large scale upper level lift ahead of a trough to our west will lead
to increasing cloud cover and rain chances Wednesday into Thursday.
A front will move through the area early Thursday, providing another
source of lift for rain across the area. The axis of higher rainfall
amounts has been shifting back and forth between model runs, moving
between our forecast area to further east in the Fort Worth/Austin
area. The location of the heavier rainfall will depend on the speed
of the front and trough, a faster front could push the heavier
amounts to our east. Right now, West Central Texas has a medium
chance (40-70%) of receiving over an inch of rainfall with this
event. The highest chances are in our eastern counties. WPC
currently has areas east of a Sweetwater to San Angelo to Junction
line in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall Wednesday into
Thursday morning.
