.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 121 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025

Key messages:

- Seasonable temperatures and heat index values

- Low chances of rain each day Coastal Plains to I-35 corridor

A Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough (TUTT) currently seen over the
northwestern Gulf drifts over southern Texas/northern Mexico today
and Wednesday. This increases moisture levels (PWs) to about 150
percent of seasonal levels. It also enhances forcing from heating
and seabreeze. As a result, low chances of showers and thunderstorms
will extend from the Coastal Plains in the morning to the I-35
corridor in the afternoon into early evening. Cannot rule out a few
showers and a thunderstorm or two during the early evening over the
eastern Hill Country and Winter Garden. With little or no changes to
the lower level thermal ridge, temperatures and heat index values
remain close to late June averages.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 121 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025

Key messages:

- Seasonable temperatures and heat index values

- Low chances of rain mainly Coastal Plains to, at times, the I-35
  corridor

The TUTT weakens and moves off to the west as the Subtropical Ridge
becomes more dominant later this week into the weekend. PWs decrease
with forcing from heating and seabreeze causing the low chances of
showers and thunderstorms to retreat to near the Coastal Plains each
afternoon. The Ridge weakens later in the weekend into next week
with possible TUTT or easterly waves moving across with an increase
in PWs. The low chances of showers and thunderstorms spread west to
near the I-35 corridor. Little or no changes continue in the lower
level thermal ridging keeping temperatures and heat index values
close to average to finish out June.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1250 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025

Low clouds continue to slowly develop from the coastal plains
northward into the I-35 corridor. Cigs will primarily be MVFR, but
based on recent trends, HREF probabilities and lighter winds in the
boundary layer, we did opt to add a TEMPO group for IFR at AUS and
SAT around sunrise. Will continue to monitor for fog development as
well, but suspect cigs will be the main concern for the morning
hours. Improving conditions are expected by mid-morning as cigs lift
and scatter back to VFR. Winds will be gusty today, but have gone
with a little lower wind speeds compared to the past couple of days.
