Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 3:14 PM CDT, 2 hours 43 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 314 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2014 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Friday) The main concern this afternoon and evening is the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms, some producing large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes. A cold front was located along a line from near Fort Stockton, to Big Spring, then into Haskell and Throckmorton counties. A very unstable environment is evident ahead of the front, across much of the Concho Valley, Heartland, and Northwest Hill Country. In addition, steep lapse rates and 0-6 KM Bulk Shear values of 30 to 40 knots are currently being experienced across these areas. As the front slowly moves south, showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop late this afternoon, with the best chance south and east of a Brownwood, to San Angelo, to Ozona line. Given the aforementioned factors, any storms that do develop will have the potential to become strong to severe, with large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes being the main hazards. Showers and thunderstorms should slowly shift south and east this evening, with the majority of convection moving south of the area during the early morning hours Friday. On Friday, the remnant cold front will be located across the Northwest Hill Country/Heartland. This may be the focus for isolated showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the morning hours, and this is reflected in the grids. Models indicate an upper level shortwave trough moving into West Texas tomorrow afternoon, resulting in showers and thunderstorms. The NAM continues to be the most aggressive in moving this convection into at least the western third of the area during the late afternoon hours, and I have expanded PoPs into much of the western Concho Valley, western Big Country, and Crockett county. Again, a few of these storms could be strong to severe. Highs on Friday will be cooler, generally in the upper 80s to lower 90s. .LONG TERM... (Friday night through next Thursday) West Central Texas will be on the northern periphery of the subtropical ridge this weekend into the middle of next week. Through the weekend, the upper ridge will be centered over Mexico but is expected to build northeast across the southeastern states late this weekend into early next week, as an upper level trough develops across the western CONUS. The airmass across West Central Texas will remain moist and unstable through the period, with periodic weak disturbances moving across the area through early next week. POPs were increased to 30 percent across western portions of the Concho Valley and Crockett county Friday evening. Some of the storms may be severe with large hail and damaging winds the main threat. Thunderstorms may also develop west of the area again Saturday afternoon with some of this activity making into far western/southwestern counties by evening. Not a clear enough signal in the models to warrant mentionable POP's Saturday through early next week but did include isolated thunder west of a Sterling city to Ozona line for Saturday evening. If storms develop, they will again have the potential to become severe given the unstable airmass in place. The medium range models continue to be at odds with each other by the middle of next week, with the ECMWF maintaining a western US trough and eastern ridge, while the GFS builds the ridge across the Rockies with troughing across the east. The ECMWF solution would favor diurnally driven convection along the dryline to our west, while the GFS would result in hot and dry conditions as the ridge builds. For now, will maintain a dry forecast Sunday through Thursday. Temperatures will remain warm through the period, with afternoon highs in the lower to middle 90s and lows in the lower 70s. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
