SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1254 AM CDT MON SEP 15 2025
THIS WEEK BEGINS A STRING OF DAYS THAT WILL BE MOSTLY DRY AND
SEASONABLY WARM. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER NORTHERN MEXICO
CAPPING MOST CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA THOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME
ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE DAVIS AND
GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS WHERE OROGRAPHIC LIFT SHOULD HELP WITH
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. HIGHS TODAY RANGE FROM THE 80S TO THE
LOWER 90S. TOMORROW WILL BE MUCH THE SAME TEMPERATURE WISE WITH
THE HIGH IN MEXICO BUILDING NORTH AND ENDING RAIN CHANCES FOR OUR
CWA.
HENNIG
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1254 AM CDT MON SEP 15 2025
THE EXTENDED FORECAST IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE SHORT TERM.
THE HIGH OVER MEXICO CONTINUES TO BUILD NORTH INTO THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES KEEPING WEST TEXAS AND EASTERN NEW
MEXICO IN NORTHERLY/NORTHWESTERLY FLOW. THE STAGNANT PATTERN DOES
NOT ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CHANGE MUCH NOR DOES IT ALLOW FOR MUCH
OF AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RAIN CHANCES. A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES INTO
THE SOUTH PLAINS WEDNESDAY BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO REACH THE
PERMIAN BASIN AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR AT THIS TIME IT WILL
INFLUENCE OUR WEATHER.
