Once the Skies Clear, the Warmup Begins | West Texas Forecast

Southerly winds are staying strong throughout the next few days leaving us with above average temperatures for both the mornings and afternoons.

TONIGHT: Late tonight and into Friday, the disturbance that has left the region with overcast skies throughout the day is forecasted to pass just north of the area. While precipitation is not expected, daytime mixing will transport momentum toward the surface, resulting in stronger winds, particularly in the Guadalupe and Delaware Mountains.

TOMORROW: On Friday, southwesterly flow and mostly sunny skies will dominate, leading to a notable warm-up, with highs climbing to 10 degrees above normal in the upper 60s to lower 70s across most locations. As the system exits to the east Friday night, clouds will clear, winds will diminish, and a weak cold front will move through the region. This front is expected to lower Friday night temperatures slightly, resulting in lows a few degrees cooler than the previous night.

IN COMING DAYS: Saturday will bring highs in the 60s and 70s, with clear skies and no rain as a cold front passes, followed by high pressure. Overnight lows will range from the mid-30s to upper 40s. Sunday will be unseasonably warm, with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s and 80s in the Big Bend, and lows in the mid-30s to upper 40s. Monday will see highs 5–7°F above average before a cold front brings cooler air overnight, with lows in the upper 20s to lower 40s. Tuesday and midweek will trend cooler, with highs returning to the mid-50s to 60s and slightly warming overnight lows. The week will remain dry, with no significant precipitation expected despite low confidence in potential disturbances.
