REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
INCREASING IN COVERAGE OVER SOUTH TEXAS. THIS ARE EXPECTED TO WORK
THEIR WAY INTO OUR REGION, PARTICULARLY SOUTH AND WEST OF THE I-10
CORRIDOR, THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH PWATS NEARING 2" AND
AMPLE MOISTURE THROUGH THE COLUMN, THE INGREDIENTS ARE IN PLACE FOR
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN TODAY. THE REMNANTS OF BARRY HAVE MOVED INLAND
OVER MEXICO AND MOISTURE HAS ALREADY STARTED TO WORK ITS WAY
NORTHWARD INTO NORTHERN MEXICO AND SOUTH TEXAS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
RIDGING IS NOW SITUATED TO OUR EAST, AND ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY
OF THIS HIGH, SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS IS
ALLOWING THE REMNANTS OF BARRY TO WORK INTO NORTHERN MEXICO. SOME
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON, BUT THE
PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE TROPICAL-LIKE DOWNPOURS WHICH COULD LEAD TO
LOCALIZED FLOODING. AFTERNOON HIGHS SHOULD BE A BIT COOLER DUE TO
INCREASED CLOUD COVER, MOSTLY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S. ON
TUESDAY, EXPECT A SIMILAR PATTERN WITH TROPICAL MOISTURE WORKING
THROUGH THE WESTERN HALF OF THE REGION, PARTICULARLY THE RIO GRANDE
PLAINS AND PORTIONS OF THE EDWARDS PLATEAU. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES
WILL STRUGGLE TO CLIMB OUT OF THE 80S OUT WEST OF I-10, BUT EAST OF
THERE, PARTICULARLY UP TOWARDS AUSTIN, TEMPERATURES SHOULD CLIMB
INTO THE MID TO PERHAPS UPPER 90S TODAY AND TUESDAY.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1234 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2025
BY MID-WEEK, SOUTHEASTERLY MID-LEVEL FLOW LOOKS TO CONTINUE ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO OUR EAST. THIS SHOULD AID IN
CONTINUED SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES, BUT ONLY ABOUT 20-30% AND
PRIMARILY OVER THE EDWARDS PLATEAU AND RIO GRANDE PLAINS THROUGH
FRIDAY. BEYOND THAT, TEMPERATURES LOOK TO CLIMB BACK INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 90S AND EVEN ABOVE THE CENTURY MARK THIS WEEKEND AS SUBTROPICAL
RIDGING AMPLIFIES JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY. BE SURE TO TAKE
FREQUENT BREAKS IF YOU PLAN ON BEING OUTDOORS AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB
AND HEAT INDICES RISE.
