318 FXUS64 KSJT 140455 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1155 PM CDT Tue Aug 13 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 143 PM CDT Tue Aug 13 2024 A high pressure ridge will continue to sit across the region through the remainder of today and tomorrow. As a result, temperatures will be a touch hotter for tomorrow. For this reason, we will expand out the Heat Advisory in area, and time, to include all of the Big Country through Wednesday evening. Heat indices, and temperatures, can reach up to 107 degrees across the I-20 corridor and northward. Elsewhere, temperatures will be in the 100 to 103 degree range. Our normal high temperature for this time of year is right around 98 degrees, so we are a few degrees warmer than normal. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through next Tuesday) Issued at 202 PM CDT Tue Aug 13 2024 A strong upper level ridge is currently centered over northern TX and southern OK. On Thursday, an upper trough moving through the central and southern plains may weaken the ridge slightly, but this will not make much difference in our weather here. We are still expecting highs from the upper 90s to around 105 on Thursday, with very little chance for precipitation. On Friday, the center of the ridge will re-center over the southwestern CONUS. As we move through the weekend into early next week, the upper ridge will strengthen, while meandering around the southern plains and southwestern CONUS. This will keep temperatures very hot, with Heat Advisories needed in more areas, and potentially Excessive Heat Warnings needed for parts of the area by early next week. | && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1154 PM CDT Tue Aug 13 2024 Expect VFR conditions for the next 24 hours. Expect gusty south winds mainly during the late morning and afternoon hours on Wednesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
