.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Monday night)
Issued at 105 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025

An outflow boundary from a decaying storm complex to the northeast
of our region is cooling portions of the Permian Basin off this
afternoon. This should lower any rain chances for the Permian
Basin later today. Although, some showers/storms may still develop
near the higher terrain out west. Thu PoPs remain low 10-20% for
these areas. Overall, mid- level ridging has taken hold of our 
weather pattern and will influence weather in our region for the 
next several days. Lows tonight and Monday night will drop into 
the 70s for most. Monday afternoon temperatures heat up beyond the
century mark for the majority of the area, with 90s forecast for 
the Marfa Plateau, the Davis Mountains, and the southeastern 
Permian Basin. Highs near and along the Rio Grande and Pecos 
river valleys will range between 105- 110 degrees. Aside from any 
subsiding convection from earlier today, the short term forecast 
remains dry.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 105 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025

Tuesday is set to be our hottest day in the forecast period. Highs 
are expected to top out in the 105-110 degree mark across much of 
southeastern New Mexico, the Trans Pecos, and the Permian Basin. The 
thermometer looks to reach the 110-113 degree range near and 
along the Rio Grande, while most everywhere else outside of the 
mountains heat into the low 100s. However, Tuesday will also be a 
turning point in our upper-level pattern as a trough from the 
starts to shove the aforementioned ridge back off to the west. A 
surface low will develop over the Great Plains Tuesday afternoon, 
resulting in breezy, southwesterly winds. Wednesday, geopotential 
heights gradually lower overhead and highs drop down a touch, in 
the upper 90s and low 100s. Although, highs in the 110-112 degree 
range are still expected near the Rio Grande Wednesday afternoon. 
During the latter half of the week and into the upcoming weekend, 
the upper ridge gradually returns, but with its axis further north
of our area. This allows our highs to stay primarily in the 90s 
Thursday through Saturday.
