.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 310 AM CDT Fri Oct 7 2022

At the upper levels, a broad trough will continue to dig in across 
the eastern US, while a closed upper low remains in place over the 
Desert Southwest.  At the surface, the weak frontal boundary that 
stalled across the area yesterday is fizzling out, while another 
cold front is moving southward into Oklahoma at this time.  This 
front will continue south and reach the I-10 corridor late tonight. 
Generally sunny to partly skies are expected during the day before 
the front arrives.  This should allow high temperatures to reach the 
mid to upper 80s this afternoon.  Late this afternoon, stronger 
southwest flow at the mid levels will advect additional moisture 
into the area.  The airmass below about 8000ft will remain dry, but 
a few sprinkles may slip through at times.  Chances for showers will 
increase slightly overnight as better dynamics and more moisture 
moves in, especially in the western Concho Valley. Low temperatures 
should be right around 60 yet again.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 147 PM CDT Thu Oct 6 2022

This weekend's weather will be largely driven by the evolution of a 
broad upper trough and a surface cold front dropping down into the 
region on Friday. Few models are showing the cooler air settling 
in south of the I-10 corridor across the Big Country, so 
confidence is lower at this time due to model disagreement. Cloud 
cover could be the most extensive on Saturday, with some higher 
low and mid level moisture over the area. This would hold high 
temperatures in the mid 70s to lower 80s across the area, but this
is highly dependent on how far south the front reaches. Some 
return flow is expected on Sunday, which should allow highs to 
climb back up to the mid-80s area-wide. However, the pattern 
become much more uncertain as an upper-level low over the Desert 
Southwest will start to get absorbed by another upper trough 
diving southward along the west coast. Rain chances remain lower 
at this point, and anything that develops would be spotty and 
showery at best. Otherwise, temperatures should remain at or just 
above normal across the area for much of next week.
