...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 219 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024

Impactful weather is still nil through early this weekend. After
this morning`s weak cold front, winds will swing back around to the
south on Saturday in response to a short wave trough moving across
the Rockies into the Plains. Surface pressure troughing will develop
in eastern New Mexico as a result of this upper trough. Therefore,
winds will pick up somewhat out of the southwest on Saturday
afternoon closer to the surface trough in the southwestern Texas
Panhandle.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 219 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024

Rinse and repeat forecast is on tap for the West Texas region
through the long-term period. Broadscale upper level ridging,
extending from the Desert Southwest into the south-southeastern
CONUS, is expected to dominate overhead and influence dry and warm
conditions. Surface winds will generally be out of the south-
southwest with the exception of Sunday into Monday as a weak cold
front pushes southward and winds shift out of the north. Therefore,
expect the coolest conditions to be experienced Monday with
temperatures in the 80s to near 90. This front is expected to mix
out fast, with southerly winds returning shortly after and high
temperatures back in the upper 80s to mid 90s through the rest of
the week.
