.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Monday)
Issued at 747 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025

...Updated to add Brown and Coleman Counties into the Flood
Watch...

Latest HRRR for late tonight into Sunday morning continues to
expand the showers and storms into the eastern sections of the
area, especially the Heartland and Hill Country. Given the air
mass in place, these will continue to be prolific rain produces
with excessive rainfall rates above 4 inch per hour in some
locations. After some discussion with WPC, a small area has been
upgraded to a Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall. Coleman and
Brown Counties were not originally in the watch since they had not
seen the same rainfall totals that areas farther south had seen,
but given these rainfall rates possible and fairly wet last few
weeks over there, added Coleman and Brown into the Flood Watch.

Will also update POPs for tonight and Sunday to better match the
latest thinking, and increased rainfall totals in some areas as
well.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 144 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025

An upper level high will develop over southwestern CONUS this
weekend and is expected to strengthen Tuesday into Wednesday. We
will sit on the eastern edge of this high pressure, turning our
winds aloft north/northeasterly. These winds will bring in drier air
aloft. At the surface, south/southeasterly winds will continue,
allowing gulf moisture to stick around. However, dewpoints should be
lower than what we`ve seen recently, with values dropping into the
upper 50s and 60s. We could see spotty showers and thunderstorms on
Monday as a disturbance rotates around the high near our area. Rain
chances for the rest of the week will remain on the lower end, but
an isolated storm cannot be ruled out for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Temperatures will gradually rise throughout the work week, reaching
the upper 90s to near 100 by Friday.
