Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 1:33 PM CDT, 36 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 133 PM CDT Sun Apr 26 2015 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Tomorrow) ...There is the possibility of severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening... An upper low has closed over New Mexico early this afternoon and will move east over the Panhandle through tonight. At the surface, rich low level moisture has returned to most of West Central Texas with a dryline moving slowly into the western tier of counties. Expect severe storms for the remainder of the afternoon and evening as the dryline advances to the east. The best chance for severe weather continues to be east of a Sweetwater to San Angelo to Sonora line. The main hazards will be a few tornadoes, large hail(larger than goofball size) and damaging winds. Expecting a dry slot enveloping our southwestern CWA tomorrow with a chance of thunderstorms continuing over the remainder of the CWA. Lows tonight will be in the mid 50s. Highs tomorrow will be in the low to mid 70s over the northern half of the area and upper 70s to low 80s over the southern half of the area as a frontal boundary sags south through the area. 15 .LONG TERM... (Monday night through Sunday) The upper-level cyclone will be moving slowly east across the southern Plains Monday night through Tuesday. Cold temps aloft associated with this feature will support a continued chance of showers and thunderstorms, despite relatively weak synoptic scale forcing for ascent over the region. Any precipitation that develops Monday night or Tuesday should remain light, with total precipitation amounts of less than 1/10". Widespread cloud cover and low-level cold advection on Tuesday will keep afternoon temperatures in the 60s areawide. With skies clearing and winds diminishing Tuesday night, overnight lows will be on the cool side. Wednesday morning low temperatures will be in the 40s across most of the area, although a few low-lying areas and river valleys could briefly touch the upper 30s. Deep-layer northerly flow is progged to develop on the backside of the departing shortwave trough, maintaining well below normal temperatures through Wednesday. Benign weather conditions are expected for the latter half of the work-week as mid-level ridging builds over the southwest CONUS, spreading into the Plains by Thursday. This will result in dry weather and a warming trend. Expect afternoon temperatures in the lower 80s by Friday. Quiet weather will continue on Saturday, with the next chance for showers and thunderstorms on Sunday as the ridge breaks down in advance of an approaching shortwave trough.
