(TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1223 PM CDT WED MAR 25 2026
AN ANOMALOUSLY STRONG MID TO UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN US/NORTHERN MEXICO. LOW LEVEL FLOW IS FROM THE
SOUTHEAST AND THE AIRMASS OVER OUR CWA HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE WARMER
AND MOISTER TODAY. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BROADEN DURING THIS PERIOD
WHILE THE LOW LEVEL FLOW REMAINS SOUTHEASTERLY. THE RESULT WILL BE
ALMOST NO CHANGE IN THE WEATHER. OVERNIGHT CLOUDINESS FROM THE
COASTAL PLAINS TO THE HILL COUNTRY WILL GIVE WAY TO A SUNNY
AFTERNOON THURSDAY. FARTHER WEST SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR
THROUGH THE PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WITHIN A COUPLE OF
DEGREES OF WHERE THEY ARE TODAY.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1223 PM CDT WED MAR 25 2026
FRIDAY A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH TEXAS, BUT THE
UPPER RIDGE WILL STILL BE IN PLACE. THIS WILL PREVENT ANY
PRECIPITATION WITH THE FRONT. THERE WILL BE COOLER AIR BEHIND THE
FRONT. COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL BE MORE NOTICEABLE OVER THE HILL
COUNTRY AND SOUTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU SATURDAY. THE LOW LEVEL FLOW
WILL QUICKLY RETURN TO SOUTHEASTERLY SUNDAY STARTING ANOTHER
WARMING TREND. THIS ONE WILL BE SLOWER WITH THE FLOW STAYING
SOUTHEASTERLY WHICH FAVORS SLOWER WARMING WITH THE SOURCE FROM THE
GULF. STILL NO RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE LONG TERM.
