.KEY MESSAGES...

- Temperatures will be above normal through the next 7 days.

- Elevated fire weather conditions possible on Saturday afternoon.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 1252 PM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025

An upper-level ridge remains over west Texas this afternoon and
should continue through at least tomorrow.  Given the weak pressure
gradient with light and variable winds, low temperatures should be
in the low 60s.  Some patchy low clouds may start off the morning
but otherwise, mostly sunny skies will be on tap for tomorrow. Just
like the past several days, high temperatures should be in the upper
80s to around 90 again tomorrow afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 104 PM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025

The long term will be relatively quiet weather-wise as an upper
level ridge sits over the area for the next week. Temperatures will
remain above normal, with highs peaking on Sunday. Low pressure will
form off the Rockies to our north on Sunday with a lower level jet
forming ahead of it. We`ll be on the tail end of the higher wind
speeds, but there is the possibility of some higher gusts mixing
down Sunday afternoon. Right now, the NBM is on the lower side of
the model guidance, so we may need to increase wind speeds as we get
closer. The LREF currently has a high chance (>70%) that portions of
the area will see wind gusts exceeding 30 mph. The elevated
south/southwest winds and clear skies will allow temperatures to
increase into the mid 80s to mid 90s for West Central Texas on
Sunday. A weak front will approach north Texas on Monday. The
southward progression of the front is uncertain, but there is
potential we see a wind shift for northern parts of the area Monday
into Tuesday. This would help drop temperatures a few degrees for
the start of next week, but shouldn`t have a significant impacts.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1210 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

High pressure across the region will leave mostly clear skies and
benign weather in place. Expect VFR conditions across the region
through the remainder of the TAF period.
