SHORT TERM
(Today through Thursday night)
Issued at 355 AM CDT Wed May 8 2024
Outside of elevated fire weather for the southwestern Texas Panhandle today, quiet weather is forecast for the Panhandles today and Thursday. Temperatures will be a bit cooler today and moreso on Thursday behind a secondary surge of cooler air. Breezy winds of 15 to 20 mph are forecast for both days.
A cold front is through the entire Panhandles at the time of this writing. The front is rather weak, with temperatures only dropping around 5 degrees behind the front. Winds behind the front are out of the north with gusts up to 25 to 30 mph. Winds will decrease over the next few hours and lows will generally drop down into the 40s.
Zonal flow is expected across the region both today and tomorrow with low pressure to the north of the forecast area. The north winds are expected for most of this morning before winds will increase and become westerly this afternoon. Gusts this afternoon could get up to the 30 to 35 mph and dry air will remain across the area, these conditions will lead to elevated fire weather for the southwestern Texas Panhandle. Slightly cooler air will be in place for today behind the front so highs will range from the mid 70s north to mid 80s south. Tonight into Thursday morning a secondary surge of cooler air behind a front will turn winds out of the northeast through the remainder of the short term forecast.
H850 temperatures for Thursday are forecast to only rise into the mid teens Celsius so high temperatures will only be in the 60s to 70s across the region, which is slightly below average for this time of year. Even though breezy conditions are forecast for Thursday, cooler temperatures and higher humidity values will mitigate any fire weather concerns for Thursday.

LONG TERM
(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 355 AM CDT Wed May 8 2024
Dry weather will prevail on Friday as another upper level low pressure system organizes over the vicinity of southern Nevada, southwest Utah, and northwest Arizona by late Friday afternoon.
Chances for showers and thunderstorms may return to the region as early as Friday night across far western sections, and then across most or all of the area Saturday through Monday evening as the aforementioned upper level low pressure system moves slowly eastward. The overall precipitation amounts and areal coverage will depend on how much moisture returns to the area this weekend into early next week. For now, the NBM pops look reasonable this far out in time and were included in the grids for Friday night through Monday night. Medium range models and associated ensembles were in some semblance of agreement with differences noted in the finer details surrounding orientation and timing of this next upper level storm system.

VFR conditions are likely with this TAF cycle. Light northerly winds to start out this TAF period will turn westerly around or after 18z with some gusts up to 20 to 25 kts. Another front will switch winds back to out of the north to northeast starting around 22z for KGUY and eventually KAMA later on. Winds will decrease during the overnight hours to around 10 kts. High clouds are forecast to move in over the terminals after 00z.
