Short term
(Today through Saturday afternoon) Issued at 135 AM CDT Fri Oct 30 2026
Current radar shows widespread showers across the area this morning. Reports show areas farther from the radar, near the Guadalupe and Davis mountains and Big Bend, are also getting rainfall but the radar beam is overshooting the echoes. All observation points in the West Texas Mesonet in our CWA have recorded some precipitation in the past 24 hours with many locations getting between one quarter and three quarters of an inch. A few locations have gotten over an inch. Rain will continue early this morning before an approaching upper level trough pushes it to the eastern basin by late morning and mostly out of the area by late this afternoon. There will be a few remaining scattered showers in the afternoon but most of the rain will have fallen. Saturday will be dry.
There will be little diurnal variation with temperatures today due to abundant cloud cover. Lows this morning will be close to what is currently observed with highs less than 10 degrees higher. Decreasing clouds lets Saturday warm up a bit more. The weather for Halloween will be pleasant for trick or treating.
Long term
(Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 135 AM CDT Fri Oct 30 2026
Southerly flow advects in warmer temperatures Sunday and Monday before a cold front moves through Monday night bringing in cooler temperatures on Tuesday. The upper trough supporting the front will be moving in from the Pacific Ocean and thus lacking cold air. Therefore highs behind the front drop down but only to near climatological norms. The remainder of the extended forecast is dry with highs in the 70s.

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 640 AM CDT Fri Oct 30 2026
CIGs vary wildly this morning from VFR to IFR. The TAFs are simplified to show the general trend though keep in mind CIGs will be bouncing around at least through 18Z when SHRA is falling. Once SHRA ends, CIGs may stabilize. Most locations will remain below VFR through the TAF period.
