955 FXUS64 KSJT 131924 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 224 PM CDT Sat Jul 13 2024 ...New SHORT TERM... .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... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1241 PM CDT Sat Jul 13 2024 VFR conditions will prevail across the terminals through much of the period. Isolated to widely scattered convection is possible across the southern terminals this afternoon. Best chance is at KJCT and will include a TEMPO thunder group this forecast cycle, with VCSH/VCTS at KSOA and KJCT. Some stratus development is possible again across the southern terminals towards daybreak Sunday morning. Will include MVFR ceilings at KJCT, KBBD and KSOA after 10Z. South winds will gust to around 18 knots this afternoon but will subside by sunset. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
