SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1219 AM CDT SUN MAR 29 2026
A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE STRETCHES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF
THE COUNTRY TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE IS PRODUCING
LIGHT TO NEAR CALM WINDS. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE CWA ARE IN THE
50S AND 60S AND DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE 40S AND 50S. THE LIGHT WINDS
AND JUST ENOUGH SHALLOW LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR A LOW
STRATUS DECK AND PERHAPS SOME PATCHY FOG THIS MORNING, FAVORING A
REGION FROM ROCKSPRINGS THROUGH THE SAN ANTONIO METRO TO NEAR
CUERO. SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL RETURN TODAY BEGINNING THE NEXT
WARM UP. ONCE THIS FLOW IS ESTABLISHED, IT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THIS PERIOD. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL KEEP THE WEATHER DRY, AND
TEMPERATURE WILL WARM EACH PERIOD. BACK INTO THE 80S TODAY AND
SOME 90S MONDAY.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1219 AM CDT SUN MAR 29 2026
THE WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
HIGHS WILL BE BACK IN THE 90S TUESDAY EXCEPT IN HILL COUNTRY AND
SOUTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU. DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE. MODELS ARE
SHOWING A PATTERN CHANGE STARTING MID-WEEK. WEDNESDAY A DRYLINE
MAY GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THEN AN UPPER TROUGH WILL
BRING ANOTHER COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION. THIS WILL BRING
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY. RIGHT NOW
THIS LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHANCE WE'VE HAD FOR SIGNIFICANT RAIN IN
QUITE SOME TIME. AFTER A BREAK ON FRIDAY ANOTHER, POSSIBLY
STRONGER, FRONT WILL MOVE IN SATURDAY BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
RAIN.
