.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 105 AM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025

A mid to upper level trough moves over our area today and Friday.
The airmass remains unseasonably moist with PWs of 1.8 to 2.4
inches. Forcing by the trough and heating will generate rounds of
showers over most areas with sufficient instability for isolated to
perhaps widely scattered thunderstorms. As seen the last few days,
locally heavy rainfall of 1 to 3 inches can be expected and may
cause some minor flooding, especially where recent heavy rains have
moistened soils resulting in faster runoff. In addition, gusty winds
of 40 to 50 mph are possible as storms collapse. Due to the clouds
and rain, below to well below average temperatures are expected.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 105 AM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025

Most models are now leaving a remnant mid level feature over our
area with less of an influence of the Subtropical Ridge through much
of the weekend. As a result, the unseasonably moist airmass remains
along with forcing by the feature and heating. Thus, have introduced
low chances of showers and thunderstorms over most areas on Saturday
and Rio Grande into Edwards Plateau on Sunday. The Subtropical Ridge
builds more fully over our area next week. Chances of showers and
thunderstorms wane as the airmass dries under increasing subsidence.
About the only rain chances will be with the seabreeze near the
Coastal Plains each afternoon. Increased sunshine leads to
temperatures warming to near to slightly above average.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 617 AM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025

Scattered showers continue over much of the area this morning with
the most consistent activity over DRT where -RA may last through the
morning or early afternoon. Ceilings range from MVFR to IFR at
terminals with these reduced conditions continuing through the
morning at I-35 sites and into the afternoon at DRT. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms are forecast into the afternoon, though
timing and placement remain uncertain. Therefore, have continued the
PROB30 groups at sites. MVFR to IFR ceilings will likely redevelop
late tonight into Friday morning.
