WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOWS THE UPPER LOW SPINNING
OVER FAR SOUTHWEST TEXAS NEAR THE BIG BEND. LIGHT RAIN IS
SPREADING NORTHWARD INTO THE NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU AND
NORTHWEST HILL COUNTRY. LIGHT SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS AS THE UPPER LOW PIVOTS EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE-
LESS THAN 0.20" FOR AREAS MAINLY SOUTH OF A SAN ANGELO TO
BROWNWOOD LINE. RAIN SHOULD TAPER OFF BY THE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE,
TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMEST ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY NORTH OF I-10
WHERE MORE SUNSHINE IS EXPECTED. FURTHER SOUTH CLOUD COVER WILL
HOLD TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S AND LOWER 60S. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
DROP INTO THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S, WITH THE COLDEST READINGS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1211 AM CST TUE JAN 13 2026
PASSAGE OF THE SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE AREA WILL ALLOW A COLD FRONT
TO SWEEPS SOUTH ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS ON WEDNESDAY. PRESSURE
GRADIENT LOOKS TIGHT AND MODEL BLENDS HAVE BEEN UNDERESTIMATING
WIND SPEEDS WITH THESE FRONTAL PASSAGES, SO BUMPED WIND SPEEDS UP
A LITTLE ON WEDNESDAY. WIND SPEEDS DROP OFF BY THURSDAY MORNING
BUT THE SURFACE HIGH DOESN'T COMPLETELY SETTLE ACROSS THE AREA SO
WINDS DON'T LOOK TO GO DEAD CALM. THIS WILL MEAN A COLD NIGHT
NEAR FREEZING IN MANY LOCATIONS, BUT NOT COMPLETELY BOTTOMING OUT
LIKE WE DID A FEW MORNINGS AGO.
AFTER A BRIEF WARMUP ON THURSDAY WITH HIGHS APPROACHING 70,
ANOTHER FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND DROPS
TEMPERATURES DOWN CLOSER TO SEASONAL NORMALS ONCE MORE. HIGHS IN
THE 60S AND LOWS INT HE 30S FOR NEXT WEEKEND. NO HINT OF
PRECIPITATION IN THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST.
