SHORT TERM
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 224 PM CDT Mon Mar 18 2024
This afternoon, light showers were occurring across the Edwards Plateau. This is due to some isentropic lift out ahead of an upper- level low over the Desert Southwest. Meanwhile, an area of surface high pressure over the central Plains was pushing northeast winds into west central Texas. Later this evening and through tonight, the surface high should move southward toward the Texas coast. This will allow winds to shift out of the south and increase during the day tomorrow. For now, the upper low should remain over Arizona, which could keep feeding mid-level moisture for cloud cover across our southern counties. But the lack of lift over southwest Texas should prevent additional showers from developing tomorrow. Given the south winds, temperatures should be a little warmer in the afternoon than today. The warmest temperatures look to be across the Big Country and Concho Valley, which should see the most sunshine.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 225 PM CDT Mon Mar 18 2024
Cut off low over Arizona is still expected to move east and open up across the Texas Panhandle and North Texas Wednesday into Thursday. A few showers are possible in the afternoon from Sterling City to Sweetwater to Haskell as the upper low approaches, but a better chance will be Wednesday night. Day 3 severe weather outlook has a marginal risk of severe storms Wednesday night, from Junction to Mason to San Saba, as surface dew points rise into the mid 50s. However, given the best lift won't be until late evening, potential for severe weather is small. Surface trough will move through Thursday morning, with winds shifting to the west and northwest, and bringing in drier air. This will end showers and thunderstorms chances Thursday.
Main effect of the westerly winds Thursday and south to southwest winds into the weekend will be increasing temperatures into the upper 70s to around 80. A chance of showers and thunderstorms returns Sunday night as a upper trough develops in the Rocky Mountains and Southwest US, bringing an disturbance in southwest flow aloft.
