311 FXUS64 KSJT 091118 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 618 AM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 240 AM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024 Satellite imagery continues to show some patchy mid level cloudiness drifting southeast across the Permian Basin and into the Concho Valley and Edwards Plateau early this morning, with a few light showers occasionally developing. This mid level instability axis will continue to move south through the day, with CAMs showing some isolated convection developing this afternoon across the area mainly along and south of I-10 from Ozona to Sonora. Will continue to carry small POPs for today. Otherwise, warmer and dry today with highs a few degrees warmer than what we saw on Monday. Highs mainly in the low to mid 90s expected. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 318 AM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024 The long term forecast will be characterized by near normal temperatures each afternoon and only slight rain chances. Our area will be situated between an upper level ridge over the western U.S. and another ridge axis over the southeastern U.S and northern Gulf of Mexico. With a weak shear axis overhead cannot rule out a few showers and thunderstorms mainly across our western counties on Thursday. Otherwise, expect predominately dry conditions. Highs will top out in the mid to upper 90s each afternoon, with some spots hitting the century in the Big Country and Concho Valley. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 615 AM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024 Some mid level moisture as well as a few isolated showers continue to spread southeast towards the KJCT and KSOA terminals early this morning. Given the small coverage and limited impact, will not mention the showers at this point. Same general pattern will persist into the afternoon. Overall though, most areas will remain VFR for the entire time period. Wind speeds will remain light. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
