Area forecast discussion, Apr 21, 3:32 PM CDT, 1 hour 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 332 PM CDT MON APR 21 2014 .SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) A weak cold front/outflow boundary will continue to slowly move south across West Central Texas this afternoon, then stall somewhere near the Interstate 10 corridor this evening. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon ahead of the boundary, which is depicted well by most of the high resolution models. A fairly unstable environment is present ahead of the boundary, with 1000-2000 J/KG SBCAPE along the Interstate 10 corridor, but 0-6 KM bulk shear values are not too impressive, generally in the 15 to 25 knot range. A few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, with large hail and damaging winds being the main concerns. Most convection should move south of the area or dissipate by 06z. Above normal temperatures are once again forecast on Tuesday with highs in the mid to upper 80s, as upper level ridging dominates. No rain is forecast on Tuesday. .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through the Weekend) A little more active weather pattern across West Central Texas for the next week, as several rounds of convection will be possible after today. Weak upper level ridge holds for for Tuesday across the area, limit thunderstorm potential. As a deeper trough digs into the Southwest US, a shortwave will rotate across West Texas by late Wednesday afternoon. Looks like a dryline setup from the Panhandle south into the Permian Basin, with storms spreading east off the dryline Wednesday night. Will continue the mention of a few isolated storms during the afternoon, but next chances will continue during the evening hours. Cold front drops through the area during the day on Thursday, temporarily scouring the moisture out. Front stalls and moisture surges back north on Friday. Deeper upper level trough moves into New Mexico and Colorado for the weekend, setting the stage for a little more widespread shower and thunderstorm event. Still, if the system shifts even a little farther north, West Central Texas gets dryslotted very quickly. Given the odds this year, wont rule that one out, so will keep the slight chance pops as is. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
