PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 350 AM CDT Wed Sep 22 2021/ 

SHORT TERM...Today through Thursday night. 
Surface high pressure will move off to the southeast of the 
Panhandles today. This will allow a new lee-side surface trough to
develop. Southerly winds will pick up today in response to the 
lee-side trough. High temperatures today should be about 5 to 10 
degrees warmer over yesterday, mainly across the central and 
western Panhandles, where the best downslope winds will be.

Southerly winds and increasing heights aloft will help to warm the 
Panhandles up another 5 to 10 degrees on Thursday.

LONG TERM...Friday through Tuesday. 
Dry weather along with generally above normal temperatures will be
the overall theme Friday through Tuesday as an upper level ridge
of high pressure prevails across the region. A weak upper level
low pressure system is expected to form near northern Baja, California
Friday, then track slowly eastward through Tuesday. Medium range 
models differ on track, strength, and speed of this feature, but 
it appears at this time that any threat for precipitation may hold
off until just beyond Tuesday.
