.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Thursday night)
Issued at 149 PM CDT Wed Jun 25 2025

Key Message:

- Increasing shower and storm coverage into this evening mainly
  along and east of the I-35 Corridor.

Troughing out in the Western U.S with monsoonal moisture continues
while the eastern U.S sits beneath an expansive ridge of high
pressure. This leaves us sandwiched between the two features thus
giving us continued chances for daily showers and storms each
afternoon. Looking at radar and visible satellite imagery we see
that showers are already starting to pop for this afternoon. We
expect these showers and thunderstorms to eventually increase in
coverage with most activity expected to wane by sunset due to the
loss of daytime heating. Tonight expect mostly cloudy skies with
lighter winds with lows in the mid 70s. Tomorrow should be slightly
drier, though chances of storms remain mainly in the Coastal Plains
once again waning by sunset as the ridge creeps slowly westward and
covers more of our area. As such temperatures are expected to be a
touch warmer as well with highs in the low to mid 90s. Tomorrow
night expect partly cloudy skies with lows once again in the mid 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 149 PM CDT Wed Jun 25 2025

Key Messages:

- A warning trend is on the way for the weekend into next week

- Saharan Air Layer arrives over the weekend and brings dry and dusty
  conditions across the local area to make hazy skies through the
  period

Slow warming trend begins Friday into the weekend and continues into
next week. Highs will range from the mid to upper 90s most areas
with a few locations getting into the 100 to 101 along the Rio
Grande over the weekend. By early next, highs are expected to
increase a degree or two of those over the weekend and therefore
more locations are likely to reach the 100 degree mark especially
across the Austin area and vicinity.

On top of the heat, a Saharan Air Layer is forecasted to affect most
of South Central Texas starting on Saturday and continues into next
week. Therefore, hazy skies are expected through the period as this
dry and dusty airmass moves across the local area. Showers and
thunderstorms will be limited to the coastal plains and areas east
of Interstate 35 with the help of the afternoon sea breeze.
Otherwise, dry weather conditions are expected for most periods.

introduced mention of PROB30s for KAUS where the greatest chances are
