.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Wednesday night)
Issued at 100 PM CST Tue Jan 13 2026

A low pressure system is spinning across West Texas and will
gradually move to the east over the course of the day. Showers
associated with the system are thinning out across the Permian Basin
and will move out of the area or dissipate over the next few hours.
Cloud cover will also decrease from west to east and clearer skies
will prevail through the rest of the short term forecast. Lows
tonight settle into the 30s for most with 20s returning to the high
elevations. Highs on Wednesday stay a couple degrees above normal
before dipping back into the 30s that night thanks to clearer skies
and generally light winds. After today, rain chances move back to
near zero areawide.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 100 PM CST Tue Jan 13 2026

A warm and breezy day kicks off the long-term period. Surface lee
troughing sets up over eastern New Mexico while high pressure will
be centered over the western Gulf Coast. This creates tight pressure
gradients producing breezy winds Thursday afternoon across much of
west Texas and southeast New Mexico. Dry southwesterly winds yield
high temperatures to be in the 60s to lower 70s regionwide. Thursday
night into Friday morning, a shortwave upper-level trough will push
a cold front to the region Friday morning keeping high temperatures
to near normal for this time of year (mid 50s to low 60s). Surface
high pressure builds in behind the front by Friday night, filtering
colder air into the region. Saturday morning low temperatures are
forecast to be in the mid 20s and mid 30s for most. This is expected
to be the coldest morning of the week before low temperatures
gradually warm up heading into early next week. Surface winds veer
southerly Saturday morning, warming temperatures back into the upper
50s to mid 60s in the afternoon. Dry northwesterly flow aloft is
expected to persist through early next week with surface high
pressure positioned east of the region. This pattern keeps the
forecast area dry with slightly above to near normal weather through
Tuesday.
