  chances through Monday. Will be monitoring for heavy rainfall
  leading to flash flooding.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Saturday night)
Issued at 227 PM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026

There is more low level moisture and instability today than
yesterday, which is shown on satellite with extensive cloud cover.
Unfortunately models show a mid level cap preventing showers from
developing in the Permian Basin. Once again today, rain will be
confined to the higher elevations west of the Pecos River where
orographic lift will help break the cap. A few storms could become
marginally severe and storms moving slowly could produce flash
flooding. The added clouds may not produce rain, but we should see
temperatures several degrees cooler than yesterday with highs
this afternoon only reaching the lower to mid 90s. Less moisture
is expected tomorrow allowing temperatures to inch back up though
still within the range expected for this time of year. Mountains
convection will also be less tomorrow than today.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 227 PM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026

A large upper trough moves into the upper Midwest pushing a cold
front into the area on Sunday and Monday. The NBM has been
steadily trending lower with temperatures the past several days
showing an increasing confidence that Sunday will be cooler. The
cold front may not be the source of the cooler air as surface
progs show the front near the northern basin by peak heating. More
likely is extensive cloud cover and increasing showers would lead
to a cooler day on Sunday. The highest rain chances are Sunday
night into early Monday from southeastern New Mexico to the
Permian Basin along and behind the cold front as it moves through.
Decent rain amounts (0.25-0.75") are possible northeast of the
Pecos River. The threat for flash flooding may be reduced by
modest rainfall rates, meaning rainfall totals that could produce
flash flooding in a heavy downpour will be able to drain better by
occurring over several hours. However the flood threat still
exists and will continue to monitor for the potential of a Flood
Watch. Monday afternoon the focus for rainfall shifts south and
west of the Pecos River as the front continues its slow
progression through the CWA. Northeast winds behind the front
favor orographic uplift and higher rainfall rates. This enhanced
lift combined with terrain channeling could create an additional
flash flood threat.

Rain comes to an end as the front exits south and an upper ridge
begins building over New Mexico and West Texas. Temperatures remain
mild for this time of year on Tuesday before heating up
significantly on Wednesday. Increasing 500mb heights indicating
greater subsidence as well as westerly mid level flow could have
many locations seeing their first 100 degree day of the year. Those
susceptible to heat will want to be alert for late next week.
