991 FXUS64 KSJT 170720 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 220 AM CDT Sat Aug 17 2024 ...New LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 144 PM CDT Fri Aug 16 2024 ...Heat Advisory extended through tomorrow for the Big Country... No significant changes to the forecast through tomorrow. Upper level ridging centered over southern NM has strengthened slightly. The ridge is expected to shift northward through tomorrow, but will continue to remain in control of our weather locally. Highs tomorrow are expected to warm a degree or two, so the Heat Advisory in place for the Big Country will be extended through tomorrow afternoon. Highs will once again reach to around 107 degrees in parts of the Big Country. Areas south of Interstate 20 will continue to flirt with Heat Advisory criteria, but it looks like we will have one more day before we are there. No precipitation expected, and overnight conditions will continue to be warm, with temperatures only dropping into the mid 70s to around 80 degrees for lows. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Friday) Issued at 220 AM CDT Sat Aug 17 2024 Expect hot and dry conditions through much of the long term as a strong upper level ridge centers over the Southern Plains. Expect some heat related impacts and Heat Advisories/Possible Warnings will likely be needed for much of the area as highs will be 105 to 110. Please follow heat safety rules if you have to be outside. Slightly cooler temperatures are possible by late next week with highs staying below 105. The nights will be very warm and humid as temperatures stay in the 90s through much of the evening, and lows in the mid 70s to lower 80s. Going with a dry forecast through the long term. The odds are increasing for flash drought conditions developing through mid September due to excessive heat and below normal rainfall as indicated by CPC outlooks. && .AVIATION...
