KEY MESSAGES

FOR THE BIG COUNTRY BY LATE IN THE WEEK AND WEEKEND.
SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 117 PM CDT SUN JUL 20 2025
A 500MB RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES EXTENDING
WESTWARD ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
SUBSIDENCE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS TONIGHT INTO MONDAY.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MONDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE
TO BE LIMITED ACROSS THE CWA AS THE MONSOONAL FLOW ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES REMAINS WELL TO THE WEST OF THE CWA.
TEMPERATURES MONDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE NEAR NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE BIG COUNTRY WHILE THE REST OF
THE AREA WILL BE NEAR NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL AS THE
RELATIVELY SATURATED SOILS ACROSS THE CONCHO VALLEY, THE
HEARTLAND, THE NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU AND THE NORTHWEST HILL
COUNTRY CONTINUE TO ABSORB SOME OF THE DIURNAL HEATING DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 142 PM CDT SUN JUL 20 2025
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SHIFTING INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL BE THE
DOMINANT WEATHER MAKER THIS WEEK. MOST OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS
WILL REMAIN ON THE EDGE FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, AS A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH ALOFT MOVING NORTH ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO
INCREASES SHOWERS AND STORMS OUT THERE. AS MENTIONED YESTERDAY,
THERE IS SOME CHANCE OF SOME OF THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS PUSHING
FAR ENOUGH EAST TO REACH INTO THE WESTERN CONCHO VALLEY AND HAVE
ADDED SMALL POPS TO AREAS MAINLY WEST OF AN OZONA TO BARNHART TO
STERLING CITY LINE. OTHERWISE, DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL.
ONCE THIS SHORTWAVE PASSES, MODELS ARE STARTING TO SHOW A MORE
SUMMER LIKE PATTERN, WITH THE RIDGE CENTERING OVER THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB TO
NEAR OR A LITTLE ABOVE THE 100 DEGREE FOR AREAS NORTH OF I-20 BY
LATE IN THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
WHEN THESE RIDGES GET CENTERED OVER OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS IN THE
SUMMER, THEY TEND TO BE LONG LASTING HOT AND DRY EVENTS. MODELS
SUGGEST THAT THIS MAY BE TRUE WITH THE LONGER TERM FORECASTS
SHOWING WARMER THAN NORMAL AND DRY CONDITIONS PERSISTING INTO AT
LEAST THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST. GIVEN THIS, WILL NEED TO START
BEING MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HEAT-RELATED PRODUCTS, AND PERHAPS
EVENTUALLY FIRE-RELATED PRODUCTS AS SOILS START TO DRY AND GRASSES
START TO CURE AFTER THE RECENT RAINFALL.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1208 PM CDT SUN JUL 20 2025
SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE A FEW HIGH
CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE CWA EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...SKIES WERE CLEAR ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING AS SUBSIDENCE CONTINUES TO PREVAIL ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS WITH A WEAK 500MB LOW/INVERTED TROUGH ACROSS CENTRAL
TEXAS. SOME MVFR CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
NORTHWEST HILL COUNTRY LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING AS
SOME LOW CLOUDS MAY DEVELOP WITH LOW TO MID LEVEL MOISTURE
INCREASING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS TONIGHT.
