.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 144 AM CDT Sat Jul 19 2025

WV imagery this morning shows the upper ridge centered over the Gulf
Coast states, the western influence of which extends all the way to
West Texas and Southeast New Mexico.  A weakness is apparent invof
the upper Texas Coast/ArklaTex, but this doesn`t look to affect
matters here very much.

Instead, thicknesses continue increasing today, adding a degree or
so to yesterday`s highs.  Tonight, a LLJ in excess of 35 kts is
forecast to develop.  This will combine with mid/high clouds to
retard radiational cooling, adding a couple of degrees to overnight
temperatures and yielding lows ~ 5-7 F above normal.  Sunday looks
to be perhaps the warmest day this forecast as highs will top out
some 3-5 F above climatology.

Convective chances remain minimal, and confined to the mountains
west of the Pecos each day.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 150 AM CDT Sat Jul 19 2025

A slight cool down and increased rain chances are in store in the
long term period. An upper-level ridge resting over the southern
CONUS will drift east a touch, allowing highs to taper down a few
degrees compared to the weekend. Some models show an upper-level may
roll over Texas along the periphery of the ridge Sunday night into
the middle of the week before heading northeast. At the surface, an
area of high pressure will meander over the Gulf through much of
next week, while lee troughing sets up over the central Great
Plains. These features shall bring ample moisture to our area.
Upslope flow and additional lift from the upper low results in an
uptick in rain chances Monday through Thursday, primarily during the
afternoon and evening hours. Rain chances range from 10-60% each
afternoon from the central Permian Basin into the Lower Trans
Pecos and areas west. Rain chances will be best over the higher
terrain, especially in and near the Davis Mountains. By Friday,
PoPs are expected to drop off. In terms of temperatures, morning
lows are forecast to dip into the 70s for most. Highs top out
within the 90s each afternoon, with the exception of the mountains
and adjacent plains, where highs will reach the mid to upper 80s.
