THIS HEAT SHOULD CONTINUE TOMORROW AND THURSDAY SO HEAT ADVISORY WAS EXTENDED TO INCLUDE AREAS EAST OF A HASKELL...ABILENE AND SAN SABA LINE AND WILL RUN THROUGH THU EVENING. HEAT SHOULD CONTINUE WITH THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE REGION AND MODELS ARE RATHER CONSISTENT HOLDING THIS FEATURE IN PLACE THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. RELIEF FROM THE HEAT MAY OCCUR OVER THE WEEKEND. LONG TERM... EXTENDED RANGE MODELS NAMELY THE GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO SHOW THE UPPER RIDGE BREAKING DOWN AND RETROGRADING TOWARDS THE INTER- MOUNTAIN WEST OVER THE WEEKEND. GFS HINTS AT A WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE THAT ROTATES AROUND THE RIDGE TOWARDS C TX ON FRIDAY. THIS MAY KNOCK A COUPLE DEGREES OFF HIGH TEMPS BUT STILL EXPECTED TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S. THIS IS STILL A WEAK FEATURE AND MAY DISSIPATE BEFORE REALLY IMPACTING THE AREA. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE AFTER THE UPPER RIDGE RETROGRADES FRI AND SAT.

POPS MAY CONTINUE SUN MORNING FOR THE HILL COUNTRY AS THE FRONT PUSHES FARTHER SOUTH. DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED TO FILTER INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT WHICH WILL HELP COOL TEMPS WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S. TEMPS COULD BE COOLER IF CLOUD COVER REMAINS LONGER THAN EXPECTED AND THE AIR MASS BEHIND THE FRONT IS COOLER.
