916 FXUS64 KSJT 071838 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 138 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... - Flash Flood Watch in effect today until 7 PM for central, eastern and southeastern parts of the area. - Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms anticipated this afternoon, some with locally heavy rainfall, becoming more isolated to scattered in the evening. - Warmer temperatures by the latter part of the week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 1247 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 An abundance of rich tropical moisture remains over the area with ongoing isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms impacting much of our eastern counties. These showers and storms within this very moisture-rich airmass are producing some highly efficient rain producing systems south and east of an Albany to Ozona line through tonight. Portions of the Concho Valley, Heartland, Northwest Hill Country, and Northern Edwards Plateau are currently under a Moderate Risk for Excessive Rainfall. Current radar trends are showing increasing westerly coverage, with persistent showers continuing across our eastern and southeastern counties. Given the efficiency of these storms and how slow they are moving through the impacted areas, a Flood Watch, and various Flash Flood Warnings and Advisories are in place over portions of the Northwest Hill Country and Heartland. Diurnal showers and thunderstorms are expected to persist into tonight mainly south and east of an Albany to Robert Lee to Ozona line, with coverage becoming more isolated to scattered. The main hazards will be flash flooding due to very high rainfall rates, dangerous lightning and gusty winds. Will keep the Flood Watch going until 7 PM this evening for the Heartland, Northwest Hill Country, eastern 2/3 of the Concho Valley and Schleicher County. Please keep up with the latest weather information and have many ways to receive warnings. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through next Monday) Issued at 1247 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 An upper level high will be centered over Arizona/New Mexico Tuesday night into Wednesday, with our area falling on the eastern periphery of this feature. Our northern most counties are currently in the Marginal Risk for showers and thunderstorms Tuesday, mainly in the afternoon as a weak disturbance rotates around the east side of the high. Some of our eastern and southeastern counties will continue to have a low chance (20-30 percent) for showers and storms Wednesday afternoon. Brief but heavy rainfall will be possible with any showers or thunderstorms that do develop over the area. Afternoon high temperatures for Wednesday are expected to rise into the mid 80s to 90s across the area. By late week the upper high is expected shift further westward into the Desert Southwest with a gradual increase in the 850mb temperatures. This will result in a warming trend into Friday with afternoon high temperatures in the upper 80s to upper 90s Thursday and Friday. Overnight lows will generally remain in the 70s. A few showers and storms will be possible over portions of the Big Country next weekend, and over our eastern counties on Sunday. && .AVIATION...
