..NEW SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION
KEY MESSAGES
- MILD AND DRY WEATHER CONTINUES THROUGH MIDWEEK.
- ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN RETURNS LATE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1236 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2026
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE
UNITED STATES WILL SLIDE EASTWARD AS THE WEEK CONTINUES.
SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW WILL PREVAIL AT THE SURFACE WHICH WILL
ALLOW MOISTURE TO ADVECT INTO THE REGION FROM THE GULF. WHEN
COMBINED WITH A MID-LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN TEXAS
LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY, INCREASED CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED
OVER MUCH OF THE REGION MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST OVER TIME.
OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD RANGING FROM THE LOWER
50S IN THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY TO THE MID 50S ALONG THE INTERSTATE
35 CORRIDOR TO THE UPPER 50S ALONG THE RIO GRANDE. MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL CLIMB INTO THE 70S ACROSS THE AREA
WITH SOME POTENTIAL LOW 80S SNEAKING IN ACROSS SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN AREAS WITH LESS CLOUD COVER.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1236 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2026
AS THE SURFACE HIGH IS PINCHED EAST OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE
UNITED STATES, A MORE UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
CENTRAL THIRD OF THE COUNTRY OPENING THE DOOR TO INCREASING RAIN
CHANCES OVER SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AND
POTENTIALLY EVEN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BESIDES THE INCREASING
MOISTURE THERE WILL ALSO BE A WARMING TREND WITH LOWER TO MID 80S
BY THE WEEKEND ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA WITH THE EDWARDS PLATEAU
REMAINING A FEW DEGREES COOLER.
A LONG WAVE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES AND
EJECTS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL THIRD OF THE COUNTRY ENABLING
A MORE UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR CAPABLE OF
SUPPORTING STRONG THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. THE STORM PREDICTION
CENTER HAS AREAS OUTLOOKED FOR THE EDWARDS PLATEAU AND PORTIONS OF
THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS ON DAYS 5 (SATURDAY) AND 6 (SUNDAY). SOME
BENEFICIAL RAINFALL MAY BE POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK AS
WELL BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED.
