.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)

A few weak showers continue to track into the western Big Country
and quickly dissipating as they more eastward early this morning.
Expect another hot and somewhat humid day today across much of
the region, under mostly sunny skies and breezy southerly winds.
High temperatures this afternoon will reach into the mid to upper
90s again, with a few area reaching as high as 101 degrees today.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 100 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025

By Thursday, an upper level ridge will be centered over New
Mexico, while also being spread across most of Texas. This upper
ridge will expand into the Deep South by the end of the week,
maintaining control of our weather here in west central Texas.
Under the ridge, our forecast will be generally dry and warmer
than normal, with highs in the mid to upper 90s through late week.

Over the weekend, a strong upper level low will develop over the
Pacific Northwest region, with significant troughing over the top
of all of the western U.S. This will serve to amplify the ridging
over the eastern CONUS, expanding the ridge northward into the
Great Lakes region, leaving west central Texas on the western
periphery of the ridge, and partially under southwest flow aloft
on the eastern side of the western trough. With the ridge slightly
weaker in our area, temperatures may cool a few degrees for the
first half of next week, and we could see a few isolated storms
along our western CWA border, but will leave the forecast dry for
now.
