SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)

Water vapor imagery shows a flattened upper level ridge stretching 
across much of the southern CONUS this morning. This will keep dry 
conditions in place across our area. Afternoon highs, however, will 
continue a downward trend compared to what we saw for most of the 
week. Expect temperatures generally in the mid to upper 90s, with a 
few locations hitting 100 degrees. For San Angelo the forecast high 
right at 100 would make this the 11th day in a row of 100 degree 
temperatures. Overnight lows will fall into the mid to upper 70s. 

LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)

Hot and generally dry conditions will continue through the extended 
forecast. Sunday through the middle of next week, upper level 
ridging will become centered across the Southeast United States and 
across the Desert Southwest. A weak inverted trough will be located 
across southeast Texas on Monday, then approach our West Central 
Texas on Tuesday. Not much in the way of shower and thunderstorm 
activity is expected with this feature, but the lowered heights 
should help to keep temperatures a few degrees lower than what we 
have been experiencing. Highs through this period will be in the mid 
to upper 90s, with overnight lows in the low to mid 70s. 

Models are indicating another inverted trough approaching the Texas 
coast Friday. This feature may bring a chance of showers and 
thunderstorms to our forecast area next weekend, but uncertainty 
continues this far out in the forecast. Temperatures for the second 
half of the work week will be near to slightly above seasonal 
normals, with highs in the mid to upper 90s.
