HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THIS WEEKEND,
WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS PREVAILING THROUGH THE PERIOD. NEAR
NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED OVER
THE WEEKEND, WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES RANGING IN THE MID 80S TO LOW
90S. SOME BREEZY SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL PERSIST OVER
THE AREA THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING, THEN DIMINISH TONIGHT AND

LONG TERM
(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1245 AM CDT SUN OCT 5 2025
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER THE WESTERN U.S. WILL MOVE
OVER NORTHERN CONUS FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL PUT US IN
A MORE ZONAL PATTERN FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK. A FEW WEAK
SHORTWAVES COULD MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW ALOFT TO THE NORTH OF OUR
AREA DURING THIS TIME. AT THE SURFACE, SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE
MOISTURE FOR WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. A WEAK FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH
INTO OKLAHOMA AND POTENTIALLY NORTH TEXAS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
THERE IS STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF
THE FRONT, BUT IT SHOULD HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON TEMPERATURES FOR
OUR AREA EITHER WAY. THE WEAK CONVERGENCE NEAR THE FRONT COULD
HOWEVER BE ENOUGH FOR A FEW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP OVER THE AREA. THE
ADVECTION OF MOISTURE, BREAKDOWN OF THE RIDGE, AND WEAK FRONT WILL
BRING A LOW POTENTIAL (<30%) FOR SHOWERS STARTING TUESDAY. THE
BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, BUT WE COULD
SEE SOME LINGERING ACTIVITY INTO THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. IT IS
WORTH NOTING THAT MOST OF THE AREA WILL NOT SEE RAIN THIS WEEK.
RIGHT NOW, THE MOST LIKELY RAIN AMOUNTS (25TH TO 75TH PERCENTILE)
ARE BETWEEN 0 AND A QUARTER OF AN INCH.
