- There is a low chance for isolated rain showers in parts of
  Central Texas on Saturday afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM... /Issued 1229 AM CDT Sat Jul 19 2025/
/Overnight through Sunday/

A slow moving remnant tropical disturbance continues to slowly
spin across southeast Texas this evening mainly resulting in some
increased high cloud cover. Otherwise, it will remain quiet
overnight with lows in the low/mid 70s and a continued south wind.
On Saturday, this little disturbance will continue to slowly move
westward with only some very low chances for an isolated shower
across Central TX. The main impact will continue to be some
increased cloud cover which will help hold temperatures down a few
degrees. Highs areawide should range from the lower 90s in Central
TX to the upper 90s farther north and west. Modest afternoon
mixing will continue to result in dewpoints falling to the low/mid
60s which will keep heat indices right around 100 degrees.

Not much change is expected on Sunday with the mid level
disturbance positioned a little farther west. Cloud cover should
thin out a bit across Central TX and we`ll see temperatures climb
back into the mid 90s.

.LONG TERM... /Issued 1229 AM CDT Sat Jul 19 2025/
/Sunday Night through Saturday/

The upcoming week will feature hot and dry conditions typical for
this time of year as an expansive ridge over the mid-Mississippi
Valley begins to spread westward a bit. Afternoon convection will
be displaced well to our west through the week around the
periphery of the ridge with little chance for rainfall in North
Texas. A weak wave will likely approach southeast TX late in the
week from the Gulf which may result in some increased rain chances
across our southeast counties, but we`ll continue to monitor this
potential and leave the forecast dry for now. Temperatures will
steadily climb toward 100 degrees each afternoon through the week.

.AVIATION... /NEW/
/12Z TAFs/

VFR will prevail across the region today although a weak
disturbance is resulting in some BKN/OVC mid and high cloud cover
primarily across Central TX. Cigs at ACT will be 8-10 kft through
early afternoon before some scattering is expected. Farther north,
some of these broken cigs may spread through the D10 airspace this
morning. Only some light showers are noted across parts of Central
TX with coverage expected to be pretty low. We`ll leave a mention
of precip out of the TAFs at Waco given the spotty nature.
Otherwise, VFR will prevail with south winds 10 to 15 kt through
the period.
