972 FXUS64 KSJT 181716 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1216 PM CDT Sun Aug 18 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 151 AM CDT Sun Aug 18 2024 ...Heat advisory in the Big Country/Eastern Heartland will expand south into Concho Valley/Rest of the Heartland Today... Expect hot temperatures again today as a strong upper level builds over the area. A Heat Advisory remains in effect for the Big Country, Concho Valley and Heartland until 9 PM this evening. Please follow heat safety precautions if you have to be outside. Highs today will be 105 to 109 in the Heat Advisory area. Highs will be in the upper 90s to around 103 elsewhere. Overnight lows will be in the mid 70s to around 80. Also, expect elevated fire weather conditions across much of the area and will issue an RFD for today. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Saturday) Issued at 115 AM CDT Sun Aug 18 2024 ...Hot and dry conditions will continue through the upcoming work week... A strong upper-level ridge will remain steadfast across West Central Texas through next weekend, keeping hot and dry conditions in the forecast through Saturday next week. Temperatures on Monday will start off in the upper 90s to 108, with temperatures of 105 to 108 mainly seen north of a Barnhart to Brady line. Widespread triple-digit high temperatures are expected Tuesday through Thursday, with afternoon high temperatures ranging from 101 to near 110 in some areas of the Big Country. By Friday, high temperatures return to the upper 90s to near 105 range, and upper 90s to 102 by the weekend as the upper-ridge weakens slightly across the area. It is safe to say that we will likely be issuing heat- related hazard products much of this coming week, along with the potential for elevated fire weather conditions across the northern portions of our area. && .AVIATION...
