.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 222 PM CST Fri Nov 22 2024

A Quiet weather pattern will continue through the weekend, with
warming temperatures. A weak ridge aloft was located over the Four
Corners area of the southwestern US this afternoon. This ridge
will move eastward into west Texas over the weekend as a surface
trough develops over far west Texas. The deepening surface trough
will increase winds across the area beginning Saturday, with south
to southwest winds in the 10 to 20 mph range with higher gusts
near 25 mph. The stronger southerly flow combined with the ridge
aloft will lead to temperatures warming tonight through the
weekend. Lows tonight will remain above freezing in the 40 to 45
degree range, with highs on Saturday generally in the mid 70s. No
precipitation is expected, and skies will stay mostly clear.
