.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1218 AM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

Hot and humid conditions will continue today across West Central
Texas, as high pressure remains steadfast over the area. Expect
afternoon high temperatures to reach into the 90s and up to 102
degrees, with heat index values around 102 to 106 across parts of
the Big Country. A Heat Advisory has been issued for much of the
Big Country, excluding Callahan and Shackelford counties, for
later this morning through early this evening. Light and variable
winds will persist through this morning before becoming breezy
from the south again by later this morning through this
afternoon. Expect warm and muggy conditions again overnight, with
lows in the mid and upper 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 1213 AM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

Expect slightly cooler temperatures Saturday as the 500 MB heights
are little lower and an increase in low level moisture. Highs will
range from the low to mid 90s south, to around 100 across the
northwest Big Country. Looks like a Heat Advisory will not be
needed. The upper level ridge will expand eastward by late this
weekend into next week. This will result in hotter temperatures
returning, with Heat Advisories likely for portions of the area
once again. Please follow heat safety precautions if you have to
be outside.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1218 AM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

Mainly VFR conditions through the next 24 hours. There is the
potential for a brief window of MVFR ceilings across all
terminals this morning, with the exception of KABI. Light and
variable winds will turn to the south/southeast tomorrow, picking
up again to around 10 knots with gusts between 15 and 20 knots
during the afternoon.
