SHORT TERM
/ISSUED 1242 PM CDT MON SEP 15 2025/
/THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/
THE POTENTIAL FOR THE RIDGE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION EARLY THIS
WEEK CONTINUES TO DWINDLE, AS LATEST GUIDANCE NOW SUGGESTS NORTH
AND CENTRAL TEXAS WILL REMAIN BENEATH A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE BOTH
TODAY AND TOMORROW. THIS WILL KEEP ISOLATED (10-15% CHANCE)
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING
AS WELL AS TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. A FEW SHOWERS TO OUR EAST
TIED TO A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MAY CLIP OUR FAR
NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES TUESDAY MORNING. OTHERWISE, THE REST OF THE
ACTIVITY WILL BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN, COINCIDING WITH PEAK HEATING. A
BRIEF DOWNPOUR AND ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKE WILL BE THE MAIN
HAZARDS WITH ANY OF THIS ACTIVITY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL PEAK IN
THE LOW TO MID 90S, WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S TO MID
70S.

LONG TERM
/ISSUED 1242 PM CDT MON SEP 15 2025/
/WEDNESDAY ONWARD/
AN ACTIVE PATTERN WILL SET UP DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK,
AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS REMAINS SHUNTED OVER MEXICO, WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH/CLOSED LOW STRETCHING ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS/NORTHERN U.S. ROCKIES. SEVERAL SHORTWAVES WILL SWING AROUND
THE BASE OF THE PARENT TROUGH INTO NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK, BRINGING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND STORMS WITH EACH PASS. THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN
IN NORTH TEXAS THROUGH FRIDAY, WITH RAIN CHANCES GENERALLY
TAPERING OFF TOWARDS CENTRAL TEXAS. THE SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED
TO BE LOW THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK, BUT THERE MAY BE SOME
POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG OR SEVERE STORMS OVER THE WEEKEND AS
INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BOTH BE ON THE RISE.
ADDITIONALLY, SOME OF THESE SHORTWAVES MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY A
COLD FRONT, ESPECIALLY THIS WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER,
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE'LL SEE ANY OF THESE FRONTS AT THIS TIME,
AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO STALL TO OUR NORTH. AFTERNOON
HIGHS WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE MID 80S TO MID 90S THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK, WITH MORNING LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S.
