.SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday) Issued at 145 PM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025
The frontal boundary that moved through the region over the weekend has settled in over the Big Bend region and south Texas and should wash out by late tonight. Lingering rain showers that produced heavy rain and flooding this morning along and near the I-10 corridor will continue to dissipate this afternoon. The high pressure center located over the Midwest that drove this front should move eastward through Monday. This should allow southerly flow to set up across west central Texas overnight and start to bring warm, moist air back into the region. Given the heavy rainfall that occurred this morning, a ragged cloud deck should develop over our southern counties late tonight into tomorrow morning. Some light showers are possible in the morning for the Edwards Plateau and northwest Hill Country. By the afternoon any cloud cover should break up, which should allow high temperatures to climb to the upper 80s and lead to some better instability. As a result, there are low chances for a few thunderstorms to occur across our southern counties. However, a building upper-level ridge should suppress chances for widespread convection.

.LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Sunday) Issued at 145 PM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025
High pressure builds back across the western U.S. for the middle of next week. This will result in higher temperatures across the region through the next several days. Highs will return to the middle 90s area wide along with dry conditions. The GFS and ECMWF try to develop a closed low pressure system across the western U.S. by Saturday and Sunday. However, this remains very uncertain this far out.

.AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1236 AM CDT Mon Sep 8 2025
Currently seeing clear skies across the area but stratus is expected to develop across the southern terminals towards daybreak. A combination of MVFR and IFR ceilings will be possible at most of the terminals except KABI. Could also see some reduction to visibilities as some fog is possible, with the best chance for this at KSOA where ground is saturated due to heavy rain that fell yesterday. Stratus is expected to lift/scatter out to VFR by afternoon, with skies clearing by sunset. A few showers may develop across the far southern terminals this afternoon but coverage should be sparse, so will not mention at this time.
