.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 1224 AM CDT Thu Jul 9 2026

High pressure across the region will begin to shift north towards
the northern end of the Great Plains. This will leave us on the
southern end of the high pressure ridge. The long range models
continue to show embedded disturbances in the flow aloft on the 
southern end of the ridge. This will support scattered 
thunderstorm development across our region in the Sunday through 
Tuesday timeframe. Chances are currently medium (about 50%) for 
rainfall during this time period.

Satellite images and surface observations indicate clear skies
across the CWA early this afternoon. Expect VFR conditions to

United States and northern Mexico will continue to provide
subsidence across northwest Texas the rest of today into tonight.
