.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 343 AM CDT Thu Jul 11 2024

Can not absolutely rule out a stray shower or storm this afternoon
and evening somewhere across the area, but chances look even
smaller than it did yesterday and coverage was very limited on
Wednesday. Will leave the forecast dry for now and update later
should convection actually develop. Otherwise, temperatures will
remain pretty close to where they ended up on Wednesday and will
stay pretty close to persistence for today forecast highs.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 336 AM CDT Thu Jul 11 2024

A mid level ridge will stay situated over the western United States
for much of the long term. Typically, this would put us in northwest
flow aloft, but a little inverted trough is expected to develop to
our southwest, allowing moisture from the Pacific and Gulf to move
in for the weekend. Disturbances are expected to move throught the
flow aloft, providing weak rain chances for Friday and Saturday. The
coolest afternoon temperatures are expected on Saturday, as
increased cloud cover helps to keep highs near or below normal.
Highs on Saturday could be as low as the mid 80s, particularly for
our southern counties where cloud cover will likely be more
extensive. High temperatures for the rest of the long term will
range anywhere from the lower 90s to near 100 degree. There is
potential for additional precipitation on other days in the long
term period, due to the more unsettled pattern we`ll be in, but
confidence and coverage are low at this point.
