.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 136 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024

Short wave ridging will continue to influence the region through
tomorrow. This will keep our area dry through the period, with
well above normal temperatures continuing. Gusty south winds this
afternoon will diminish after sunset, except for some of the
higher terrain where winds will remain elevated overnight. Expect
clear skies tonight and mostly sunny skies on Monday. Lows
tonight will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s, with highs on
Monday ranging from the mid and upper 90s east, to 99-102 degrees
across western sections. South winds will become gusty again late
Monday morning into the afternoon hours.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 432 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024

Both the GFS and ECMWF indicate hot and dry weather will result
from a high pressure ridge that sits over our area through Tuesday.
Then, a frontal boundary will affect the area on Wednesday
afternoon, which will limit high temperatures across the Big
Country to the middle 80s. This frontal boundary will combine with
a dryline off to the west to support thunderstorm development
during the afternoon, evening, and overnight hours. Additional
activity is possible across the region on Thursday along the
dryline as a minor disturbance aloft also moves through. All of
this activity will have to be monitored closely for severe weather
potential. Conditions appear to be favorable for possible severe
weather on Wednesday and Thursday. With regards to Tuesday, a
Marginal Risk for severe weather is in place. However, it remains
to be seen if any thunderstorm development can be initiated. If it
does initiate, then these thunderstorms will certainly carry the
risk of severe weather. However, chances remain low (less than
20%) for thunderstorm development. These details will become more
clear over the next few days as to exactly what kind of threats
may emerge. Please check back over the next day or two for
updates.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1218 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024

Going with a VFR forecast the next 24 hours. Could see some
stratus try to develop tomorrow morning across the southern
terminals. Confidence remains too low at this time to include
a ceiling, so will just include a scattered group around
1.5K FT at the three southern terminals for now. Expect gusty
south winds this afternoon, diminishing this evening for most of
the terminals. KABI can expected winds to remain gusty overnight,
with gusty south winds returning to all terminals after 15Z
Monday.
