.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Thursday night)
Issued at 111 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025

We are seeing scattered showers and storms develop this afternoon
across the Permian Basin on the backside of an upper low just to our
east. Most of this activity will diminish this evening with the rest
of the region mainly quiet due to subsidence. Hopefully everyone
enjoyed the cooler temperatures today as highs stay generally 10
degrees below normal. Unfortunately, it won`t last. Temperatures
will begin to warm Thursday as the upper low pulls away and
ridging builds in from the west. High temperatures will climb back
to normal and into the low to mid 90s. With northerly/northwesterly
flow aloft and continued moist upslope at the surface, showers
and storms that develop across the mountains of NM could make
their way into our region late in the day Thursday (20-40%). Some
of these storms could be strong, especially across SE NM, but
widespread severe weather is not expected.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 111 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025

With the center of a mid level ridge to our west, our area will
remain in north to northwest flow into this weekend. Models continue
to show weak disturbances moving south into the area providing at
least some lift for isolated showers and storms (20-30%). We aren`t
expecting anything too widespread as subsidence increases amid
mid level height rises. Temperatures will rise accordingly with
highs back into the upper 90s and 100s and lows mostly in the 70s
this weekend. Ridging builds more overhead early next week with
precip chances becoming nil and many locations at or above the
100 degree mark.
