.UPDATE...
Issued at 931 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025
A mesoscale convective system (MCS) is moving south into the Big
Country this morning. This MCS is forecast to continue to track
south across the area through the afternoon hours, mainly
affecting the eastern half of the forecast area. PoPs were
expanded south to include most of the Big Country and Heartland.
Will have to monitor trends, but PoPs might need to be pulled west
a bit more, depending on the eventual track of the MCS. Highs this
afternoon were left alone for now, but might need to trend highs
in the Big Country down some later today.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 223 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025
Upper-level ridging will remain the dominant feature across the
area through the next 24 hours and beyond, and will help to keep
drier conditions and continue the upward trend in temperatures. A
mesoscale convective system (MCS) has formed over central Oklahoma
and is tracking southward, with CAMS showing it reaching the Big
Country by late this morning into early this evening. There
remains uncertainty on how far west and south this MCS will
extend, although the CAMS are indicating at least some showers
and thunderstorms getting into our eastern counties today. High
temperatures for today will reach into the mid to upper 90s, with
overnight lows expected in the low to mid 70s.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 1209 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025
West central Texas will remain under the northeast corner of an
upper-level ridge for the start of the upcoming week. This should
result in continued warm and sunny conditions across the area for
Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures for most locations should reach the
mid to upper 90s with perhaps even triple digits for much of the Big
Country and western Concho Valley. By midweek, the ridge will shift
westward to southern California and will allow heights to lower
across Texas. A few shortwave troughs should traverse the region on
Wednesday and Thursday. As a result of these features, temperatures
should be several degrees lower. There is also a low to medium
chance of showers and thunderstorms for Wednesday night, mainly over
the Big Country. Towards the end of the week, model consensus shows
the upper ridge shifting back over the southern Plains while an
inverted trough moves westward out of the gulf into south Texas.
Overall warm temperatures will likely continue but the inverted
trough could bring an increase in moisture and cloud cover. Models
also show a low to medium chance for rain over the Edwards Plateau
and the Hill Country.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 607 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025
Another brief window of MVFR ceilings has started to develop
across most terminals again this morning, and should persist
through 15Z before lifting back to VFR levels. Otherwise, expect
VFR conditions through the next 24 hours with light and generally
southerly winds becoming breezy this morning and into the
afternoon. Winds should generally remain south to southeasterly
between 8 to 12 knots with a gusts as high as 22 knots.
