LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 156 PM CST WED NOV 20 2024
A RATHER BENIGN LONG TERM FORECAST IS ON TAP FOR THE WEST CENTRAL
TEXAS REGION. WITH THE DRY AIR MASS STAYING IN PLACE AND LIGHT WINDS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY,
TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE ABLE TO COOL INTO THE MID 30S TO LOW 40S.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL NOT BE QUITE AS
EFFICIENT WITH A BIT MORE CLOUD COVER IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA. IN
THE UPPER LEVELS, A RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THIS TIMEFRAME WILL
CONTINUE TO WARM WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. ZONAL FLOW WILL BUILD IN BY SUNDAY BUT THE PATTERN ACROSS
THE AREA SHOULD STAY PRETTY TAME WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING EVEN
FURTHER INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S, WELL ABOVE AVERAGE FOR LATE
NOVEMBER. A COLD FRONT WILL START TO APPROACH OUR AREA DURING THE
DAY ON MONDAY AS A SURFACE LOW WELL TO OUR NORTH MOVES THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES REGION. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO LINGER FOR
THE NEXT FEW DAYS CREATING A TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY MONDAY WILL TAKE A BIT OF A HIT,
ONLY CLIMBING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S WHILE TEMPERATURES FURTHER
SOUTH HOLD IN THE MID 70S TO LOW 80S. BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, THE
COOLER TEMPERATURES TAKE A BETTER HOLD WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE
UPPER 50S IN THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY TO THE MID 70S ACROSS THE I-10
CORRIDOR. TIMING ON THIS FRONT AND THE LEVEL OF IMPACT ON
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE FLUID OVER THE COMING DAYS BUT IN ANY
CASE, SLIGHTLY COOLER, NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES SHOULD RETURN
SOMETIME NEXT WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY, NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED WITH
THIS FRONT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL LINGER FOR THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE.
