171 FXUS64 KSJT 140530 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1230 AM CDT Sun Jul 14 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday) Issued at 224 PM CDT Sat Jul 13 2024 Isolated to widely scattered showers and a few thunderstorms have developed across southern sections this afternoon. This activity will be diurnally driven and will affect areas generally south of a San Angelo to Brownwood line into the early evening hours before dissipating. Skies will be mostly clear tonight, although some low clouds should develop over southern sections towards daybreak and linger through mid morning. Dry conditions are expected tomorrow, along with slightly warmer temperatures as the ridge west of us expands east a bit. Lows tonight will be in the low to mid 70s, with highs tomorrow ranging from the mid 90s across southern sections, to the upper 90s to around 100 degrees elsewhere. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through next Saturday) Issued at 108 PM CDT Sat Jul 13 2024 Drier and warmer conditions return Monday into Wednesday. A weak upper trough, however, will continue over eastern and southern Texas, so can not exclude one or two showers or thunderstorms into Wednesday, but the potential will be low, and for the most part, not be included in the forecast. Main concern Monday into Wednesday may be a return to 100 degree temperatures over the Big Country and Concho Valley, as a surface trough brings gusty southwest winds at times. A better chance of showers and thunderstorms returns late Wednesday night into Friday as a weak cold front pushes into the region and stalls out. Rain/cloud cover should bring highs back down into the lower to mid 90s. Could see a few areas of locally heavy rainfall as the atmosphere becomes more more tropical- like. Gusty winds and dangerous lightning, though, will be the main concerns. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1230 AM CDT Sun Jul 14 2024 Currently, all sites are generally VFR, with only some upper level clouds moving across the area. Low clouds can be seen in satellite imagery developing to the south and southeast, and these are expected to move north into the area affecting at least KSOA and KJCT in the next few hours, and may also reach as far north as KBBD, so have kept a mention of MVFR CIGs at these through sites later this morning through sunrise. These clouds will scatter out of the area by 14Z or 15Z, leaving FEW to SCT upper level clouds through the rest of the day and evening hours. Winds will be out of the south/southeast with a few gusts between 15 and 20 knots from mid morning through the early evening hours. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
