.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Saturday night)
Issued at 1256 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Upper-level ridging will slowly build eastward across west Texas and
southeast New Mexico through Saturday night while a surface trough
of low pressure also develops across the region. Very warm and dry
conditions will continue across our forecast area through the short
term period. Breezy southerly to southwesterly winds will take shape
across the area during the day Saturday along and to the east of the
surface trough axis. Afternoon high temperatures will trend much
warmer across our region, with many locations reaching into the 90s,
which is about 15-20 degrees above normal for this time of year.
Exceptions will be highs in the mid to upper 80s in the mountains,
with a few locations along the Rio Grande reaching as high as around
103 degrees. Overnight low temperatures tonight and Saturday night
will remain mild in the 50s to lower 60s across the region.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 1256 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

The long term forecast begins with unseasonably hot temperatures as
mid-level ridging continues over the area Sunday. Deep mixing and
southwesterly to westerly downslope flow allow for very dry
conditions and afternoon highs to climb into the mid to upper 90s
except for those in higher terrain. Some locations may see highs in
the triple digits, especially in the Trans Pecos and Big Bend
regions. Increasing high clouds late in the afternoon may prevent us
from seeing some record high temperatures (previous record at
Midland International Air and Space Port of 97 F, set back in
1972). However, it will still be hot and it is encouraged to take
the necessary precautions to protect yourself from the heat.

Fortunately, temperatures cool down as a cold front moves through
the area Sunday night. This will bring temperatures down closer to
normal during the beginning of the work week on Monday and Tuesday.
Very warm/hot temperatures arrive again by the middle of next week
as mid-level ridging builds. Conditions remain dry in the extended,
raising fire weather concerns, particularly on days where
temperatures are forecast to be above normal.
