SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Saturday night)
Issued at 252 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Extensive low cloud cover has persisted across the area this afternoon keeping temperatures in the 50s for the most part.
Northeast winds continue to advect in cooler temperatures helping temps drop back down to the lower 50s to upper 40s (except along the Rio Grande) tonight. An upper level trough moving across the western U.S. will increase lift causing light rain and showers to develop near sunrise Saturday mainly from the Permian Basin south into the lower Trans Pecos and Big Bend. Areas of fog should also develop along the I-20 corridor in the Permian Basin. The highest rain chances and accumulations will be in the eastern Basin and decrease to the west with low rain chances in the western 1/3 of the CWA
Elevated instability will be great enough that scattered thunderstorms are expected, enhancing rainfall totals in a few lucky locations. No severe weather is expected. Continued cold air advection and evaporative cooling from rainfall help lows drop into the 50s tomorrow night.

LONG TERM
(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 252 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Much quieter weather is anticipated for the start of next week as we find ourselves on the back-side of this weekend's trough and weak ridging that builds through the middle part of the week. A subtle shortwave sneaks under the building ridge for Monday, which may fuel some diurnally-driven showers/storms in the Big Bend and Davis Mountains in the afternoon.

On the heels of a trough swinging from the north Plains into the Great Lakes, a weak front draws near our area late Tuesday/early Wednesday. Additionally, another shortwave approaches from the west Wednesday into Thursday, providing some additional synoptic ascent. The GFS and Euro ensemble clusters are in some disagreement in timing of this shortwave and as a result, the NBM has smeared low PoPs in across the far northern and eastern Permian Basin from late Wednesday through Friday.

With cool air and cloud cover lingering through Sunday behind this weekend's front, temperatures stay below normal before quickly returning back above normal by Tuesday. High temperatures may take a short dip on Wednesday in the northern Permian Basin with the weak front drawing close before returning back to the 80s/90s for the remainder of the week.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1058 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

IFR cigs will develop overnight as an upper trough moves into the area, as well as a secondary cold front. Rain chances will be front-loaded to the morning hours, w/fog possible as well.
Conditions will improve a little on the backside of the trough Saturday evening, but cigs should remain IFR all terminals.
