..NEW LONG TERM
KEY MESSAGES
- DRY AND PLEASANT WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SUNDAY.

THE BEST CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION MONDAY AFTERNOON

BE STRONG TO SEVERE.
SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 145 AM CDT SUN MAY 4 2025
GENERALLY QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. AS AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW TO OUR WEST APPROACHES THE AREA, AND SOUTHWEST
FLOW INCREASES ALOFT, CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE, AND WE MAY SEE A
FEW SHOWERS, BUT WITH DRY STILL IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE, DO NOT
THINK THESE WILL YIELD ANY MEASURABLE PRECIP, AND WILL BE VERY
ISOLATED IN COVERAGE IF THEY OCCUR. OTHERWISE, WITH A SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPING TO OUR WEST AND NORTHWEST, SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS
INCREASE INTO THE 10 TO 20 MPH RANGE, AND SHOULD REMAIN STEADY
THROUGH TONIGHT, HELPING TO INCREASE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BY
BRINGING IN GULF MOISTURE. LOOK FOR HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 70S.
TONIGHT, AS MOISTURE INCREASES, THE LLJ CRANKS UP, AND THE UPPER
LOW INCHES CLOSER TO THE AREA, WE COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT, MAINLY WEST OF AN ABILENE TO
SONORA LINE. WITH INCREASING MOISTURE AND STRONGER WINDS,
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE WARMER FROM THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 209 AM CDT SUN MAY 4 2025
...SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING POSSIBLE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY
MORNING...
A LARGE UPPER STORM SYSTEM WILL BE DEVELOPING OVER THE 4 CORNERS
REGION MONDAY, WITH A STRONG UPPER SHORTWAVE ROUNDING IT, THROUGH
WEST TEXAS MONDAY NIGHT. THE REGION DOES GET UNSTABLE AGAIN WITH
GFS MUCAPES IN THE 1500 TO 2500 J/KG RANGE, WITH PERHAPS UP TO
3000 J/KG IN CROCKETT/SUTTON COUNTIES. WHILE A FEW STRONG/SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY MORNING, THE BEST POTENTIAL WILL
BE LATE EVENING INTO EARLY MORNING TUESDAY, AS THE STRONG UPPER
SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS. HOWEVER THE SEVERE POTENTIAL MAY WELL
EXTEND INTO TUESDAY MORNING AS A SURFACE TROUGH WITH DRIER WEST
WINDS MOVES THROUGH. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS, BUT
LARGE HAIL ALSO POSSIBLE, AND EVEN A TORNADO CAN'T BE RULED OUT.
SPC HAS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS
MONDAY. WPC ALSO HAS A RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR THE BIG
COUNTRY SOUTH INTO THE CONCHO VALLEY MONDAY, WHERE 1 TO 2 INCH OF
RAINFALL POSSIBLE, WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS IN STRONGER STORMS. WITH
SOILS SATURATED, PARTICULARLY IN THE BIG COUNTRY, THERE COULD BE
FLOODING PROBLEMS.
A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE, MAINLY IN THE BIG COUNTRY TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES EAST INTO
OKLAHOMA THEN SOUTHEAST INTO LOUISIANA FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.
HOWEVER, MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. NORTH WINDS OF 5 TO
15 MPH PREVAIL WEDNESDAY INTO SATURDAY, AS WEAK SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN.
