.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 306 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024

An upper level ridge will remain over the western CONUS through
Monday. Tropical Storm Beryl is forecast by the National Hurricane
Center to make landfall on the middle Texas coast early Monday
morning, and then move north and weaken to a tropical storm by 7 PM
Monday. With this setup, our area will be under generally north to
northwest flow aloft tonight and Monday. This evening, an embedded
disturbance in the northwest flow aloft is forecast to move into
northwest Texas, and help to initiate showers and thunderstorms.
Isolated to scattered showers and storms should move or develop
south/southeast into the Big Country later this evening into
tonight. Not seeing much of an indication for the showers and storms
to persist overnight however, with the aforementioned disturbance
weakening. Trailing portion of a cold front (associated with an
upper trough gradually shifting east across the northern and central
Plains) will push south across our area late tonight into the day
Monday. Our area will have increased cloud cover overnight and
Monday morning, but skies should become partly cloudy especially
over our western counties in the afternoon. Temperatures will be a
little cooler in our southern counties, but most noticeably cooler
in the Big Country. Highs on Monday are expected to range from the
mid to upper 80s in the Big Country, to the lower/mid 90s in the
Northern Edwards Plateau.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 158 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024

The forecast continues to call for increased shower and
thunderstorm chances Monday night into Tuesday, as a surface cold
front coinciding with a upper-level shortwave trough tracks
through West Central Texas. Models are keying in on these storms
possibly organizing into an MCS (Mesoscale Convective System)
late Monday night into early Tuesday morning. The high-res models
are showing this feature developing during the overnight hours
Monday night into early Tuesday morning, south of a Sterling City
to Brady line, and tracking south to southwestward through
Tuesday evening. The remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl and its
moisture will stay to our east as it lifts north across east Texas
and the Arklatex region on Tuesday, so not expecting any effects
from it. The NBM has continued to trend precipitation chances down
Wednesday into Thursday, although cannot rule out a few showers
and storms developing across southern sections during the
afternoon hours. Dry conditions are expected Friday into next
weekend.

Temperatures across the area will be cooler for Tuesday behind the
front and with increased cloud cover and precipitation chances,
with highs ranging from the upper 80s to mid 90s. Temperatures
are then expected to trend back upward into the 90s and triple
digits by the end of the week and into next weekend.
