Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 7:00 AM CDT, 5 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 700 AM CDT WED JUL 8 2015 .AVIATION... /12Z TAFS/ Mainly MVFR ceilings expected across the terminals through early afternoon, before ceilings lift to VFR. The exception will be KABI where IFR ceilings will persist through the late morning hours. Keeping a TEMPO group at KJCT and KBBD for SHRA this morning, otherwise some additonal rain showers may redevelop and affect primarily the southern terminals after 20Z, ending by early evening. Stratus is expected to develop overnight, with MVFR ceilings affecting the southern terminals after 09Z. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 454 AM CDT Wed Jul 8 2015/ SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) ..Heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding remain possible again today... More beneficial rains will continue across portions of West Central Texas through this afternoon/early evening. Early this morning, widespread showers and thunderstorms continue to develop across much of the Heartland and Northwest Hill Country, with this activity becoming more scattered across the Concho Valley. Where it does rain, very heavy rainfall with rapid accumulation rates remain likely, as precipitable water values range from 1.7 inches across western locations (Sterling County to Crockett County), to 2.1 inches across the eastern part of the forecast area. Most of the numerical guidance also shows additional convection developing this afternoon, mainly east of a line from Throckmorton to San Angelo. They also show good precipitation amounts through early afternoon, before things start to wind down. We considered extended the Flash Flood Watch in time through 7 PM. However, with uncertainty regarding how late into the afternoon the heavier precipitation lasts, we decided to hold off on this and let the next shift monitor the trends in the numerical guidance. The Flood Watch was also expanded east to include McCulloch and San Saba Counties. Any remaining convection will diminish by sunset, with drier air moving into the region overnight. Lows will drop into the lower 70s at most locations. LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Monday) Warmer and drier air will return to area for the middle to end of the week. A ridge of high pressure currently located across the southeastern states will build westward through the remainder of this week, strengthening as it does so, with the center of the ridge taking up residence over eastern New Mexico by early next week. This will result in a continued influx of dry air with increasing upper-level heights. Highs in the mid to upper 90s are likely for this period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
