.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Sunday night)
Issued at 137 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024

Scattered low clouds can be seen via visible satellite early this
afternoon with showers and thunderstorms noted south of the area and
along the coast. Although above normal PWATS still reside over the
southern half of the area today, it appears any decent chances for
precipitation will remain south of the CWA today. From here, a
prolonged period of rain-free conditions is forecast. Highs this
afternoon will generally be in the low to mid 90s with a few
locations in the Hill Country or southern Edwards Plateau in the
upper 80s. Similar afternoon highs are expected tomorrow with a few
locations possibly a degree or two warmer. Lows each night range
from the low to mid 60s in the Hill Country and southern Edwards
Plateau to the mid 60s to low 70s elsewhere.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 137 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024

Dry and warm days and cooler nights are forecast for the long-term
forecast period. Upper level winds aloft are forecast to come from
the northwest to north to northeast through at least Thursday as
upper level ridging dominates the local area. At the surface, light
north to northeast to east and at times variable winds are forecast
to persist across South Central Texas through Thursday. A back door
frontal boundary is forecast to push across the Hill Country between
Tuesday and Wednesday. With clear nights and light winds in place,
expect overnight lows on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to get to
the mid and upper 50s over some locations of the Hill Country and
along and east of I-35. Highs are likely to stay in the lower to
middle 90s.

Southerly winds return to the local area on Friday and remain through
Saturday. However, limited moisture is forecast to arrive to the
local area and therefore, dry and warm conditions win.
