921 FXUS64 KSJT 142319 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 619 PM CDT Wed Aug 14 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Thursday) Issued at 226 PM CDT Wed Aug 14 2024 ...Heat Advisory for the Big Country extended through Thursday... Today, there is a slight weakness in the upper level ridge from the TX Panhandle into the Big Bend region, with a surface trough also moving east into west Texas. This will result in isolated to scattered thunderstorms developing to our west, but it`s unlikely that any of this activity makes it into our western counties. For the rest of the short term, another warm night can be expected, with lows in the mid 70s to around 80. For Thursday, the upper level ridge will begin strengthening over our area, so temperatures are expected to be very similar if not a degree or two warmer. With that in mind, the Heat Advisory will be continued through Thursday evening for the Big Country. Although a few isolated locations might briefly reach Heat Advisory criteria in the Concho Valley, will hold off on a Heat Advisory for now. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 208 PM CDT Wed Aug 14 2024 High pressure will remain across the region through the next 7 days. The center will shift back towards the southwestern U.S. However, this means little for the forecast as we will still be hot and dry for the foreseeable future. Expect an increased risk for heat related illnesses to continue being the main headline for the long term portion of the forecast. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 618 PM CDT Wed Aug 14 2024 VFR conditions will continue across West Central Texas terminals through Thursday afternoon. South to southeast winds will prevail and will continue to be gusty at times mainly during daylight hours. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
