.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Friday night)
Issued at 242 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

Water vapor imagery depicts a broad upper-level trough moving
over the Northern Great Plains, with ridging out ahead of it
across the northeastern CONUS. Meanwhile, upper-level high
pressure to our south brings quasi-zonal flow aloft. This yields
afternoon highs in the upper 90s to above 100 degrees across west
Texas and southeast New Mexico. Similar to yesterday, many spots
along the Pecos River Valley and the Rio Grande can expect to see
highs top out between 104 and 108 degrees, with some spots along
the border (including the Big Bend) seeing temperatures approach
110 degrees. Though temperatures may be limited to high-level
cloud cover over the Pecos River Valley. In addition to the heat,
isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible this
afternoon and evening (mainly in and around the Davis Mountains
and the Big Bend, with 10-30% PoPs). Also similar to yesterday, a
few thunderstorms may become strong to marginally severe. The
strongest storms will be capable of producing gusty winds, hail
(up to quarters), and localized areas of flash flooding where
heaviest rainfall occurs.

An approaching cold front reaches our region this evening,
becoming diffuse near our forecast area. This brings low (~10%)
chances of additional shower and thunderstorm development, mainly
across our northernmost counties. By Friday, southeasterly winds
increase and transport more moisture in this upslope flow regime.
This yields higher PoPs (20-50%) across the higher terrain. The
increased moisture and resulting cloud cover brings temperatures
closer to climatology, with afternoon highs in the low-to-mid 90s
for most.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 242 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

Weak mid level westerly flow keeps temperatures climatologically
hot on Saturday. Models show a cold front reaching the Permian
Basin on Sunday, and combined with increasing clouds and rain will
bring temps down several degrees. Models have become faster in
bringing the front into the CWA and the temperature forecast has
decreased accordingly. The best rain chances in the Permian Basin are
expected along and just behind the front where deep layer
moisture and lift will be greatest late Sunday and into early
Monday. Rain chances continue as the front sags south but will
taper off into Tuesday as the focus of rainfall shifts into the
Big Bend and lower Trans Pecos. Isolated heavy rain and flash
flooding is possible but is not expected to be wide spread enough
to warrant a Flood Watch.

High pressure behind the front builds south with Monday being the
coolest day with highs in the 80s. The high slides east on Tuesday
and returning southerly winds advect in slightly warmer
temperatures though still below what is normal for this time of
year. These cool temperatures should be enjoyed because it will
likely come to an abrupt late in the week as an upper level high
builds into New Mexico and Texas. 593dam 500mb heights and high
pressure centered over West Texas indicates we could be in store
for the hottest temperatures so far this season. This is still
seven days out so much could change but be prepared for very hot
and dry conditions soon.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1221 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

VFR conditions prevail at all terminals the next 24 hours. Southerly
to southeasterly breezy winds are expected to persist this TAF
period. A couple of showers and thunderstorms are possible this
afternoon and evening across the Trans Pecos and Stockton Plateau.
However, there is a bit of uncertainty in coverage and timing. As
such, have opted to include PROB30s for TS at FST and PEQ from 19Z-
00Z to account for this.
