SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 115 PM CST TUE NOV 11 2025
OUR AREA IS CURRENTLY UNDER WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT, WITH AN UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN CONUS. GUSTY SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE
OCCURRING TODAY WITH A LEE SURFACE TROUGH TO OUR WEST AND AN
INCREASED PRESSURE GRADIENT. WITH A COMBINATION OF THE GUSTY WINDS
AND DRY AIR (RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES 15-20 PERCENT), A RED FLAG
WARNING IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM. WINDS WILL DECREASE TONIGHT, BUT
WILL STAY HIGH ENOUGH TO LIMIT OVERNIGHT LOWS TO THE 40S. SKIES WILL
BE CLEAR.
ON WEDNESDAY, A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SAG SOUTH INTO OUR NORTHERN
COUNTIES. THE MAIN EFFECT OF THIS FRONT WILL BE A WIND SHIFT TO
NORTH AND NORTHEAST WINDS, AND HIGHS FOR THAT AREA WILL BE SIMILAR
TO TODAY. FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE REST OF OUR AREA, TEMPERATURES
WILL BE WARMER THAN TODAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S.
FOR THESE AREAS, SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE BUT WIND SPEEDS
WILL BE WEAKER THAN TODAY. EXPECT SUNNY SKIES FOR WEDNESDAY.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1251 PM CST TUE NOV 11 2025
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL MOVE IN ON WEDNESDAY, EVENTUALLY
TRANSITIONING TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. UNDER
THIS RIDGING, TEMPERATURES WILL WARM SIGNIFICANTLY, INTO THE 80S,
AND EVEN CLOSE TO 90 DEGREES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. FORECAST HIGHS
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ARE NEAR OR WARMER THAN CURRENT RECORD HIGHS
AT ABILENE AND SAN ANGELO, SO RECORDS COULD BE TIED, OR SET AT
EITHER LOCATION. ABILENE HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF NEW RECORDS BEING
SET, PARTICULARLY ON FRIDAY WHEN THE FORECAST IS 87, AND THE
CURRENT RECORD IS 84, SET IN 1989.
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE SOUTHWESTERN U. S.
THIS WEEKEND, MAINTAINING SOUTHWEST FLOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THERE IS ALSO A LOW (20%) PROBABILITY FOR SOME SHOWERS AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS, MAINLY FROM SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AS THE
UPPER LOW LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST AND MOVES OVER THE FOUR CORNERS
REGION, IT WILL OPEN UP INTO A WAVE. WITH THE LOW THAT FAR NORTH,
MODELS HAVE TRENDED SLIGHTLY DRIER FOR OUR AREA, WHICH MAKES
SENSE, AS MOST OF THE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL BE FARTHER
NORTH. HOWEVER, THE LOW WILL LOWER MID AND UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS IN
OUR AREA, WHICH SHOULD MODERATE TEMPERATURES, COOLING US DOWN
INTO THE 70S EARLY NEXT WEEK, WHICH WILL STILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES
WARMER THAN NORMAL HIGHS, GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 60S.
