778 FXUS64 KSJT 161115 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 615 AM CDT Fri Aug 16 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 226 AM CDT Fri Aug 16 2024 Hot and dry conditions will continue as the upper-level ridge remains steadfast across West Central Texas and begins to strengthen. Afternoon high temperatures today will range from the upper 90s to 105 with the warmest temperatures across the Big Country and parts of the Concho Valley. A Heat Advisory remains in place for today through this evening for the Big Country, with heat indices across parts of the area reaching 105 to 107 degrees. Expect warm overnight low temperatures again tonight, ranging in the mid 70s to lower 80s. Given the above normal temperatures and drier conditions, there is some concern for fire weather. However, with slightly lighter winds today and RH values remaining above 20 percent across much of the area, we leaned against issuing an RFD for today. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 205 AM CDT Fri Aug 16 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 will likely be needed for mainly the Big Country, Concho Valley and Heartland as highs will be 105 to 110. Highs across the remainder of the area will be in the upper 90s to around 103. 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. Going with a dry forecast through the long term. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 602 AM CDT Fri Aug 16 2024 VFR conditions are expected across all terminals through the next 24 hours.
