Area forecast discussion, May 26, 6:16 PM CDT, 4 hours 52 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 616 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Large complex of storms will slide southeast into the area during the evening hours, effecting both San Angelo and Abilene, KSJT and KABI. Uncertain about how far southeast it will come this evening, so whether the storms reach the southern terminals is a question. Otherwise, MVFR ceilings will move north and cover most of the area after midnight. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 341 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Tomorrow) Although flash flooding remains a major concern for this afternoon and tonight, severe thunderstorms are also a concern for the shorter term. With much of West Central Texas under sunny skies this afternoon, the atmosphere continues to become more unstable. Thunderstorms, some severe, have already developed, across the Trans Pecos region of west Texas, along an old outflow boundary. Surface based CAPES there are currently around 2000 to 2500 J/Kg, and convective inhibition is near zero. Based on coordination with the Storm Prediction Center, Tornado Watch number 188 is now in effect for much of West Central Texas. This watch is valid until 11 PM CDT this evening. The thinking is supercells will continue to develop to the west and move into West Central Texas. With 0 to 6 Km Bulk Shear around 50 knots and WSR-88D VAD Wind Profile data indicating veering through the first 8000 feet, the primary threats, in order of concern this afternoon and evening, are tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and ever present deadly lightning. In addition to severe thunderstorms, flash flooding remains a significant threat for this afternoon and tonight. Thus, a Flash Flood watch remains in effect for all of West Central Texas until 7 AM CDT tomorrow morning. The ground is saturated across much of West Central Texas; so, any additional rainfall will likely produce flash flooding. For tomorrow, rain chances diminish, as the upper low moves east along the Red River. Models continue to generate QPF, mainly across our eastern counties. Continuing the best PoPs for those counties look best. Tomorrow afternoon, a weak front will slide southeast across West Central Texas and bring north winds. Highs for tomorrow afternoon in the 80s still look likely. LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through Monday) The large upper level low that has been bringing much needed rainfall to West Central Texas, will be over Northeast Texas Tuesday evening, then slow down and meander across East Texas/Louisiana through this weekend. Slight chance PoPs were left across the extreme southeast counties Tuesday night into Wednesday, on the backside of the upper low. Rain chances were left out of the forecast on Thursday, as most convection should remain east of the area. Highs on both Wednesday and Thursday will be in the mid to upper 80s, with lows in the 60s. While the aforementioned upper level low is stalled to our east, an upper level ridge will build to our west. This will put West Central Texas in a shear zone between the two features. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible both afternoons Friday and Saturday, with the best chance across our eastern counties, farther away from effects of the ridge. Coverage looks limited and uncertainty remains, so for now, very few changes were made to the inherited PoPs. Sunday through early next week, expect dry conditions with slowly increasing temperatures. Most locations will be in the lower to mid 90s, with overnight lows in the 60s. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
