SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 135 PM CDT MON JUL 6 2026
REMNANT MCV FROM EARLY MORNING CONVECTION IS OVER THE EDWARDS
PLATEAU REGION THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE ALONG WITH DAYTIME
HEATING HAS ALLOWED FOR SOME AFTERNOON CONVECTION TO DEVELOP OVER
THE SOUTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU AND HILL COUNTRY REGION. THE NBM POPS
LOOK A LITTLE LOW AND HAVE OPTED TO TREND HIGHER GIVEN HI-RES
MODEL TRENDS. SLOW STORM MOTIONS COMBINED WITH ADEQUATE MOISTURE
WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SOME ISOLATED POCKETS OF LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREAS. CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN TO
DECREASE WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING, BUT WE DID OPT TO
EXTEND A LOW CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO THE MID-EVENING
HOURS. FOR TUESDAY, ANY LINGERING RAIN CHANCES WILL LIKELY BE TIED
TO THE LOCATION OF ANY REMNANT MCV ACTIVITY FROM TODAY. FOR NOW,
WE WILL ONLY KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE (20%) FOR SOME AFTERNOON SHOWERS
IN STORMS IN THE FORECAST ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY. TEMPERATURES
REMAIN STEADY THROUGH TUESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 90S TO NEAR
100 ALONG WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 70S.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 135 PM CDT MON JUL 6 2026
FOR THE MIDWEEK PERIOD, THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS BEGINS TO BUILD
IN FROM THE WEST RESULTING IN A DRY FORECAST ALONG WITH A SLIGHT
UPWARD BUMP IN TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION. SOUTH CENTRAL
TEXAS. MOST AREAS SHOULD STILL SEE HIGHS IN THE MID 90S TO LOWER
100S ALONG WITH LOWS IN THE 70S TO NEAR 80 DEGREES. WE MAY NEED TO
MONITOR FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION NEAR THE
COASTAL PLAINS, BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO MENTION IN
THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME. SOME AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES NEAR
106 DEGREES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE COASTAL PLAINS REGION.
FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, THE CENTER OF THE
SUBTROPICAL HIGH BUILDS NORTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES.
FARTHER SOUTH, AN INVERTED TROUGH IN THE MID-LEVELS WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE WESTERN GULF ALLOWING FOR AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE LEVELS
TO TAKE PLACE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. THE INCREASED MOISTURE
AND WEAK UPPER TROUGH AXIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION
TO DEVELOP THIS WEEKEND INTO MONDAY, MAINLY DURING THE PEAK
HEATING HOURS. HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY TAKE A SLIGHT DIP DURING THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH 90S IN THE FORECAST, WHILE
OVERNIGHT LOWS REMAIN STEADY IN THE 70S.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1217 PM CDT MON JUL 6 2026
MAIN FEATURE TO MONITOR THIS AFTERNOON IS ISOLATED/SCATTERED TSRA.
AS OF 17Z CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED NEAR KSOA/KJCT AND VICINITY
WITH TSRA CONTINUING THROUGH 02Z IN THIS REGION AND NEAR
KECU/KERV. DIRECT IMPACTS TO THE TAF TERMINALS ARE UNLIKELY AT
THIS TIME BUT OUTFLOWS COULD PRODUCE WIND SHIFTS AT ALL TERMINALS
AFTER 21Z. CIG FORECAST FOR TONIGHT IS UNCERTAIN DUE TO INFLUENCE
OF THE EARLIER TSRA. MODELED CONSENSUS FOR LOWER MOISTURE COMPARED
TO TODAY FAVORS FEW/SCT CLOUD COVER TONIGHT AND CONTINUED VFR
CONDITIONS, THOUGH CLOUD BASES WILL TEND TO BE BELOW FL030.
