SHORT TERM
(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Fri Jul 26 2024
Weak upper level troughing continues east of our region during the short term period. Meanwhile the upper ridge will build back in and place itself firmly over the south central CONUS by the start of the new week. At the surface, the wind direction will mostly be southerly and speeds will be strong between 15-25 mph sustained this afternoon. By this evening, a surface low positions itself in southeast Colorado while a surface trough moves in from the west into the combined Panhandles. By tomorrow, the trough retreats back into New Mexico and the surface low stays anchored to our northwest.
High temperatures for the next couple of days will remain in the seasonal 90's, and breezy southerly winds are forecast for tomorrow as well. By or after midnight tonight, a few isolated showers and thunderstorms may generate off of the incoming trough across central portions of the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. A poor CAPE environment and only modest moisture should disallow for any organized convection tonight. A few storms may still pulse up and produce frequent lightning. Plus, with decent shear in place, they may be able to sustain for longer periods of time despite not being very tall. Tomorrow is more or less the same in terms of environmental parameters. A few isolated storms still cannot be ruled out due to day time heating tomorrow afternoon and evening, but only general thunder is expected.

LONG TERM
(Sunday through next Thursday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Fri Jul 26 2024
Through the extended, the main upper level ridge builds over the south central CONUS and spreads out as the days progress.
Dangerous heat is expected for the coming days. By Monday, we will easily reach the low to mid 100's and the triple digits will stick around through the whole long term period. Heat Advisories are likely and Excessive Heat Warnings are also a possibility, since long range models and even the NBM itself forecast certain areas to meet or exceed 110 degrees. The Palo Duro Canyon in particular will experience the hottest temperatures throughout the whole week, especially on days where surface winds are either light or southeasterly. PoPs remain very low through the whole extended. A stable atmosphere will not permit much thunderstorm activity next week.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 607 PM CDT Fri Jul 26 2024
VFR conditions are expected through this forecast package. A thunderstorm has developed just north of the KAMA airport, for which VCTS is in the TAFs until 01z. Can't rule out an additional thunderstorm overnight tonight for KAMA, or in the afternoon hours tomorrow. Have left additional thunderstorm mentions out of the TAFs for now given low confidence.
