114 FXUS64 KSJT 121059 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 559 AM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Dry conditions will persist, with above normal temperatures into next week. - Elevated fire weather conditions on Sunday. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 156 AM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025 The high pressure system that has been overhead the past few days will shift east today. This will be in addition to a disturbance passing aloft to our northwest. We will therefore be left between the two with more benign weather in place. However, there will be a increase in cloud cover for this afternoon given the disturbance`s proximity to our area. In addition, some breezier winds will be possible through the afternoon hours. Expect hot and dry conditions to largely continue through the end of the weekend. Given the hot and dry conditions, some minor fire weather concerns will be in place through Sunday evening. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Saturday) Issued at 118 AM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025 No significant changes needed to the long term portion of the forecast. Upper level ridging will remain in control through at least the middle of next week. A weak mid level impulse moving around the western periphery of the ridge on Monday will result in shower and thunderstorm development mainly across the South Plains and Permian Basin. By Thursday and Friday the ridge axis moves off to the east in response to an upper trough over the Intermountain West. This will result in more a west- southwest flow aloft. However, the primary trough axis will pass well north of our area. A few of the ensemble models continue to show some QPF over our area next weekend. However, the bulk of the guidance remain dry and thus will keep a dry forecast in place with unseasonably warm conditions persisting through next week. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 528 AM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025 VFR conditions are expected for the remainder of the TAF period. Gusty winds will develop for the afternoon hours, and these conditions will likely persist until 0z. Otherwise, increased cloud cover is expected throughout the day on Sunday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
