(Today through Wednesday) Issued at 201 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 Things are fairly quiet overnight across South-Central Texas overnight with some high clouds in place across eastern areas.

Low temperatures by day break will be in the middle to upper 70s across the area. Expect another day with highs topping out in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees across the region.

(Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 201 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 The subtropical ridge will be centered over the southeastern US Wednesday night and expand westward Thursday and Thursday night.

Generally speaking dewpoints will mix out down into the 60s during the afternoons and heat indices will remain below advisory levels. A weak cold front will drop into Central Texas and may push some showers and thunderstorms into our northern counties Friday afternoon and evening. This boundary will linger in the region Saturday and there will be another low chance for convection across the north and east. The front will move away and dissipated Saturday night into Sunday. Slight rain chances will then shift to the Coastal Plains in strong onshore flow. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1224 PM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 VFR flight conditions continue.
