.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 134 AM CDT Tue Jul 15 2025

A much more benign pattern for the region continues today with the
bulk of the rain chances staying around the Davis Mountains. High
temperatures look to end up about the same as yesterday with most in
the upper 80s to low 90s. Overnight lows settle into the upper 60s
to low 70s for most. Rain chances fall even lower for Wednesday with
the Davis Mountains once again seeing the best(10-20%) chances for
showers and storms. High pressure builds over Texas and temperatures
warm towards normal with much of the area in the mid 90s. The Big
Bend continuing to be the hot spot with highs just over the century
mark along the Rio Grande.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 134 AM CDT Tue Jul 15 2025

Mid-level ridging from the southeastern CONUS builds into the region
throughout the Long Term Period. As a result, rain chances continue
to decrease daily from east to west. The highest rain chances (30-
50%) will be in and near the higher terrain of West Texas and
Southeast New Mexico (particularly the Davis Mountains). Meanwhile,
other portions of far West Texas and Southeast New Mexico will have
lower rain chances (10-30%), at least while they remain on the
periphery of the ridge. By the weekend and into next week, rain
chances (20-30%) become pretty much confined to the Davis Mountains
as the ridge perches itself over our area. Meanwhile, temperatures
continue to warm and dewpoints continue to decrease. By early next
week, temperatures above the century mark start to make a
reappearance across much of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico.
