WILL CONTINUE THE HOT AND DRY FORECAST FOR WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.
SOME OF THE EARLIER CAMS LIKE THE 18Z RRFS DEVELOPED CONVECTION
ACROSS OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON, WITH SOME OF THE CONVECTION DIVING
SOUTH INTO THE WESTERN BIG COUNTRY TONIGHT. LATEST CAMS ARE LESS
AGGRESSIVE, AND WHAT CONVECTION THEY DO DEVELOP STAYS OUT OF WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS. WILL NOT ADD POPS AT THIS TIME BUT IT IS WORTH
WATCHING JUST IN CASE THE EARLIER RUNS WERE MORE CORRECT.
NO CHANGE IN AIR MASS SO NO REAL CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES. HIGHS
AGAIN I THE MID 90S SOUTH TO AROUND 100 OR A FEW DEGREES HOTTER
FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20 CLOSER TO THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE.

A LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN CENTERED NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS
REGION THROUGH MONDAY, RESULTING IN A CONTINUATION OF THE HOT AND
DRY CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. SINCE
THE RIDGE WILL BE CENTERED WELL TO OUR WEST, HIGHS ARE FORECAST TO
BE NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 90S TO NEAR 100.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.
TUESDAY INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK, THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EAST, TOWARD TEXAS. THIS WILL RESULT
IN A SLIGHT INCREASE IN TEMPERATURES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH
HIGHS IN THE MID 90S TO NEAR 103.
