925 FXUS64 KSJT 271737 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1137 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Low chances of showers by Friday afternoon, and low to medium chances for showers and a few thunderstorms Friday night. - Much colder temperatures expected Sunday into the first part of next week. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Friday) Issued at 1137 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 Quiet weather expected tonight, with light easterly winds becoming more southerly by Friday morning. Clouds will also be on the increase as low level flow advects Gulf moisture into the area, with low clouds likely covering the entire west central Texas area by sunrise Friday. As lee troughing occurs to our north, surface winds will increase to 15 to 20 mph, with gusts up to around 25 mph out of the south by early afternoon. A relatively weak shortwave will move across the area in the upper levels, resulting in low (20% to 30%) chances for scattered showers, from late morning through the afternoon. Although it will be cloud, temperatures will warm into the upper 50s to lower 60s, after lows in the 40s tonight. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 1220 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 Low-level moisture will increase over our area Friday with strengthening return flow. Breezy south winds and mostly cloudy skies are expected, with afternoon highs mostly in the lower 60s. Isolated to scattered showers are possible, mainly Friday afternoon and Friday night in association with a weak upper shortwave moving through the area. A few thunderstorms will be possible Friday evening and Friday night in some of our eastern counties with an increase in instability. An upper trough will move southeast across the northern and central Plains into the Midwest on Saturday, and associated cold front will advance south across our area during the afternoon and evening. Depending on the specific timing with this front, it could curtail highs to the mid 60s to near 70 in some of our northern counties. Our central and southern counties should have highs in the lower to mid 70s, with south to southwest winds ahead of the front and partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. Gusty north winds can be expected Saturday night in the wake of the cold frontal passage. Temperatures will drop into the upper 20s to lower 30s by daybreak Sunday. Brisk northeast winds will make for a cold Sunday morning. The colder airmass will settle in for Sunday into the first part of the week. Temperatures should be confined to the lower to mid 40s for highs in most of our area Sunday, with a few upper 40s in our far southern counties. Lows Sunday night are expected to range from the mid 20s to lower 30s. Models continue to trend drier for early next week, and now only have a slight chance (20 percent) for light rain showers in eastern portions of San Saba and Mason Counties Monday morning. Another upper trough is forecast to drop southeast into the southern Plains on Monday, pushing a cold front south across our area late Monday afternoon into early Monday night. Monday night looks cold with temperatures dropping into the 20s for lows, and accompanied by somewhat breezy north winds. Temperatures will remain cool and below normal Tuesday with highs in the lower to mid 50s. Wednesday looks warmer with a return of southerly winds and highs in the lower to mid 60s. && .AVIATION...
