.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 206 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024

There is still little to write home about in regards to the local
weather. A deep trough moving across southern Canada and the
northern US will result in surface cyclogenesis and pressure
troughing in lee of the Rockies. This will bring winds around to the
south-southwest this afternoon but remaining light. Upper ridging
will build over the western US bringing rising heights today
allowing temperatures to be a few degrees warmer. Mid-level moisture
rotating around the ridge along with low level upslope flow will
likely allow isolated to scattered convection in the higher terrain
of eastern New Mexico but is unlikely to reach the region.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 206 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024

A cold front will pass southward through the region on Tuesday
morning bringing a short period of breezier and slightly cooler
conditions, but this frontal passage will be dry and temperatures
Tuesday will still be near or slightly above average with highs in
the upper 70s to middle 80s. Temperatures warm back up on Wednesday
and will remain well above average through the rest of the extended
forecast as low amplitude upper ridging continues to persist over
the southern half of the CONUS. Highs each day will peak in the
upper 80s to mid 90s with no precipitation chances in sight
through at least the next seven days.
