KEY MESSAGES

MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WITH GUSTY SOUTH WINDS THIS AFTERNOON.

SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 112 AM CDT SUN MAR 29 2026
TODAY WILL SEE THE RETURN OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THAT WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE WORK WEEK. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SHIFT TO THE EAST OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON WHILE
A LEE TROUGH DEEPENS ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE. THIS WILL ALLOW OUR WINDS TO SWITCH BACK OUT OF THE
SOUTH. THE TIGHTENING SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RESULT IN
WINDS BECOMING GUSTY BY THE MID MORNING AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. HIGHS TODAY WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOWER TO MID 80S
UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. LOWS WILL DROP OFF INTO THE MID 50S.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 234 PM CDT SUN MAR 29 2026
MORE WARM AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR TUESDAY AS THE
UPPER-LEVEL FLOW PATTERN TURNS FROM QUASI-ZONAL TO SOUTHWESTERLY.
STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY
WHILE A COLD FRONT DEVELOPS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND PUSHES
SOUTH. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S WHICH
IS WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. A STRONG PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND A LOW-LEVEL JET WILL SET UP ACROSS MOST OF THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. THIS WILL RESULT IN FAIRLY BREEZY CONDITIONS EACH AFTERNOON.
A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FOR THE SECOND HALF OF
THIS WEEK. MODELS SHOW TWO FAST-MOVING MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVES THAT
ARE EXPECTED TO TRAVERSE THE REGION WEDNESDAY AND AGAIN ON FRIDAY.
THESE SYSTEMS SHOULD PUSH TWO SEPARATE COLD FRONTS INTO THE REGION
WHICH COULD GENERATE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. AT THIS
POINT, IT IS TOO EARLY TO TELL IF STORMS WILL BE STRONG TO SEVERE,
BUT THIS IS SPRING IN WEST TEXAS, SO IT IS BEST TO BE PREPARED.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1155 AM CDT SUN MAR 29 2026
SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE SOME LOW TO MID
LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWA EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON. CEILINGS WERE NEAR 2200FT AT KOZA TO NEAR 2900FT
AT KCOM. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL ACROSS WEST CENTRAL
TEXAS THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS
CLOUDS CONTINUE TO LIFT AND SCOUR OUT WITH DIURNAL HEATING AND
WINDS INCREASING FROM THE SOUTH. MVFR CEILINGS WILL RETURN LATE
TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING AS WINDS DIMINISH TONIGHT AND
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ALLOWS LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA AND MOVE NORTHWARD.
