.SHORT TERM (THROUGH TUESDAY)... (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 140 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025
An upper level ridge covers northern Mexico and the southwestern US bringing northwesterly flow over Texas. High pressure over the northern Gulf coast has the low level flow from the southeast. The airmass has not changed much over the last 24 hours and is warm and moist with temperatures in the middle 70s to lower 80s and dewpoints from the upper 60s to lower 70s. An upper level trough will move out of the Rockies into the plains during this period and turn the flow over Texas to the west. The low level flow will continue from the southeast reinforcing the warm, moist airmass. There may be enough lift over the Coastal Plains to generate isolated to scattered showers or thunderstorms each afternoon today and Tuesday. Elsewhere the upper ridge will suppress any convection. High temperatures will increase a couple of degrees today and Tuesday with continued warm advection. Highs will be well above normal with some places south and southwest of San Antonio reaching triple digits. Humidity will be high enough over the Coastal Plains to send heat indices to near Heat Advisory level Tuesday.

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)... (Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 140 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025
A cold front will move through the Texas Panhandle into Central Texas Tuesday night. With the approach of the front there will be chances for convection spreading into our CWA from the north. The front will move through our CWA Wednesday. This will bring showers and thunderstorms through South-Central Texas with the best chances will be during the afternoon Wednesday. Perceptual water values will be near 2.0 inches ahead of the front, and we could see some locations in the Coastal Plains get and inch or two of rain Wednesday night. The front will stall somewhere near our southern border and rain chances will continue Thursday. Friday the front will dissipate and the upper trough will move to the southeastern part of the country. This will bring dry weather back to our area. Temperatures behind the front will drop back down to near normal for the end of the week.

An isolated shower or thunderstorm may develop east of I-35 terminals this afternoon or early evening but dry conditions are forecast at terminals. South to southeasterly wind will prevail under 12 knots but could see some local gusts up to 20 knots in the late afternoon and evening. MVFR ceilings are favored to develop along the I-35 corridor early Tuesday morning.
