PLEASANT AND DRY CONDITIONS PERSIST ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND
WEST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE UPPER
70S TO LOW 80S AREAWIDE. AN UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN OVER
NORTHERN MEXICO TODAY AND MAY RESULT IN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE BIG BEND AND DAVIS MOUNTAIN REGIONS EARLY THIS EVENING.
REGARDLESS...DO NOT THINK CHANCES ARE PROMISING. TUESDAY...THE
UPPER LOW WILL EJECT TO THE NORTHWEST BRINGING RAIN CHANCES TO
MUCH OF THE REGION. GREATEST CHANCES WILL GENERALLY BE ACROSS THE
DAVIS MOUNTAIN AND BIG BEND REGIONS HOWEVER SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS
MAY DEVELOP AS FAR NORTH AS INTERSTATE 20 DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. RAIN CHANCES WILL SHIFT EASTWARD IN THE EVENING AND COME TO
AN END OVERNIGHT.
CONDITIONS BEGIN TO WARM CONSIDERABLY BEGINNING MID WEEK AS WEAK
UPPER RIDGING SETS UP ACROSS THE REGION BEHIND THE DEPARTING UPPER
LOW. EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S ON WEDNESDAY
INCREASING TO THE UPPER 90S AND NEAR 100 FOR SEVERAL LOCATIONS BY
FRIDAY. AN UPPER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO SWING EAST THROUGH THE
ROCKIES OVER THE WEEKEND HOWEVER IT WILL BE TOO FAR NORTH TO BRING
ANY DROUGHT RELIEF TO THE REGION. THE FORECAST WILL REMAIN DRY
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PACKAGE.
