.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Wed Apr 19 2023

Another warm and muggy afternoon across the region this
afternoon. Temperatures have warmed into the mid to upper 80s in
most areas, and dewpoints are in the upper 50s to lower 60s. A
dryline was approaching our western counties with dewpoint values
dropping into the 30 to 35 degree range just to our west, and
winds turning from the south to the southwest. We have a very
similar setup to yesterday with a dryline sharpening up in our
western counties, unstable air to the east of that boundary, and
warm air aloft inhibiting convection. With all that in mind, we do
have a conditional Marginal Risk for severe weather across much
of the area. The cap is eroding slowly, but will likely hold
through most of the afternoon like yesterday. However, if it does
break, storms will quickly intensify to strong to severe levels,
with the main hazard being large hail, along with damaging wind
gusts. Have kept any rain chances after 7 PM at 20% or less, and
mainly in our northeastern counties.

After the convection ends by early evening, winds will remain
southerly, and we'll have another warm and muggy night, with lows
in the low to mid 60s.

For Thursday, as the upper level trough axis over the Rocky
Mountains moves east into the central plains, a cold front will
move south into our area. Showers and thunderstorms will be
possible tomorrow across the eastern half of the area as the cold
front moves through the region. Temperatures will be a few degrees
cooler with highs ranging from the upper 70s north of I-20, to
the mid/upper 80s elsewhere.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Wed Apr 19 2023

At 500 MB, global models are indicating a disturbance moving east
of our area by late Thursday night. This disturbance may bring
scattered thunderstorms to the Northwest Hill Country and
Heartland mainly Thursday evening. The upper level flow will
remain west- northwest this weekend into next week with a few
disturbances which may increase the chances of rain across much of
our area.

At the surface, on Thursday evening, the southeast counties may
see a better chance of thunderstorms as cold front will over take
the dryline during the evening hours. A few storms may be strong
to severe, east of an Sonora to Ballinger to cross Plains line due
to moderate instability and some deep layer shear. The main
hazards will be large hail and damaging winds. The cold front will
be south of the area by Friday morning and expect quiet and
cooler weather this weekend as surface high pressure builds into
the area from the north. The coolest day looks to be Sunday. In
addition, weak overrunning may result in scattered light showers
Sunday and Sunday night. the pattern becomes more spring like
Monday and Tuesday as low pressure will be over the Oklahoma
Panhandle, and a weak dryline located just west of our area 00Z
Tuesday. As a result, our area will see southerly flow and warm
air/moisture advection, which may lead to isolated to scattered
afternoon and evening thunderstorms on Monday. The severe weather
threat looks low at this time, however we are now in severe
weather season. Going with mainly a dry forecast Tuesday.

For temperatures, highs will be around or slightly below normal
Friday and Saturday. Looks much cooler on Sunday due to possible
light rain, low clouds and gusty east-northeast winds. Highs will
be in the 60s. Expect warmer temperatures Monday and Tuesday, with
highs in the 80s Tuesday.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 640 PM CDT Wed Apr 19 2023

A sharpened dryline extended from just west of Haskell to
eastern Sterling County to western Crockett County. A band of
cumulus extends along this dryline, and visible satellite
imagery shows that a few showers have briefly developed and
then dissipated. Appears that the cap will hold, but still have
an environment early this evening with a conditional risk of
large hail and damaging winds if a storm can develop and
intensify. Any convection this evening would stay west/northwest
of KABI and northwest of KSJT. Low cloud development from the
south and southeast is expected overnight, with MVFR ceilings.
KABI should be near the northern edge of low cloud development
late tonight. Breezy south or south-southeast winds this
evening will veer slightly to south or south-southwest and
decrease by 7 AM Thursday. The low cloud field should break
up around mid-morning. A cold front will move slowly south across
the Big Country in the morning, reaching KABI by 17Z. The front
should move south at a slower pace during the afternoon, reaching
KSJT around 22Z. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms
will develop in the mid-to-late afternoon across our east-central
and southeastern counties. At this time, carrying VCSH at KBBD
and KJCT after 20Z. Where the storms occur, will have a
possibility of localized visibility and ceiling reductions in
brief heavy rain, along with a conditional potential for strong,
gusty winds and large hail. Winds will shift to the north with the
cold frontal passage.
