.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday Night)
Issued at 316 AM CDT Thu Oct 10 2024

No changes are expected with the forecast as this dry quiet weather
pattern remains in place across SE TX through the rest of this work
week. Surface high pressure lingering in/around the middle Mississ-
ippi River Valley will help to maintain light NE winds at the lower
levels over much of the next couple of days. Aloft, ridging just to
the west of the state will keep a dry northerly flow in place.

So, all of this should translate to warm/dry days and mostly clear/
cool nights through the short-term. Highs will range from the upper
80s to lower 90s for most locations today and tomorrow...mid 80s at
the beaches. Lows should run from the upper 50s north (Piney Woods)
to the lower and mid 60s elsewhere for tonight and tomorrow night.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 316 AM CDT Thu Oct 10 2024

Toasty weather returns Saturday through at least Monday with
rising mid-level heights and abundant sunshine. High temperatures
will be in the low 90s on Saturday, and then low to mid 90s Sunday
and Monday with low temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. The high
temperatures will be about 10 to 15 degrees above normal. Guidance
continues to indicate a fairly substantial cold front moving
through the area next Tuesday. High temperatures on Tuesday will
ultimately be decided on the exact timing of the cold front, which
is still in flux at this time, but will likely be in the 80s for
most of the area. Low temperatures will be in the mid 50s to low
60s Tuesday night. CAA will be in full effect by Wednesday keeping
temperatures in the mid to upper 70s for most of the areas. The
colder temperatures will continue into Wednesday night with lows
in the low to mid 50s for most of the area... and possibly even
cooler in parts of the Pineywoods.
