AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 334 PM CDT Sat May 23 2015 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Sunday) Showers and thunderstorms are becoming more widespread across West Central Texas this afternoon, and continue to blossom through the rest of the afternoon and into the overnight hours. Low level moisture is abundant, with the best lift just now starting to have an impact as a potent shortwave trough begins to move into Far West Texas. This trough axis will not pass until late tonight, so widespread convection will continue. Given the high rainfall rates and the potential for another 1 to 3 inches of rain, with locally higher totals, kept the Flash Flood Watch going for the entire area for tonight. .LONG TERM... (Sunday Night through Saturday) Overall, wet period will continue as the same basic pattern continues. Main upper trough out to the west with a series of wave rotating it and deep moisture already in place. A bit of a lull for Sunday night as the shortwave tonight pushes east, and the next wave is still upstream. This second shortwave rotates through for Monday and Monday Night and have bumped ups PoPs for it as well. Again, heavy rainfall looks to be a concern. A third wave approaches starting as early as Wednesday Night. Some uncertainty with the timing of the wave is still a little questionable, and not going to argue with extending chance PoPs into the weekend, at least until the timing becomes a little more certain. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
