The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS San Angelo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Oct 30, 6:51 PM CDT, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 30, 6:51 PM CDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 651 PM CDT FRI OCT 30 2015 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Look for thunderstorms, or the potential for thunderstorm development, to continue across much of West Central Texas until around midnight tonight. Thunderstorms continue this evening, mainly across the Heartland north of the Brady terminal and across the Big Country southwest of the Abilene terminal. Thunderstorms southwest of the Abilene terminal may be at that terminal within the next hour or two. Thus, included a tempo group in that terminal for thunderstorms between 01Z and 02Z. Otherwise, there is currently no radar-indicated threat to any of the other terminals. Beyond midnight, the thunderstorm threat will significantly diminish, and showers will be the primary rain producer. A cold front will bring winds from the northwest for tomorrow. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 336 PM CDT FRI OCT 30 2015/ Short Term... (Tonight and Saturday) ..Heavy rain and strong/severe thunderstorms possible through tonight... Currently, a line of showers and embedded thunderstorms continues to work its way across the CWA this afternoon. Additional isolated development is occurring west of our area over the Stockton Plateau. The main upper level low remains west of our area, centered over southwestern New Mexico. A strong vorticity maximum is rotating around the southern end of the low this afternoon, and will impact our area tonight. All models take the upper level low a little farther south tonight as it moves east. A slow-moving warm front stretches across the area from just west of KSOA, arcing northeast to between KBBD and KBWD. In addition, models hint at a weak surface trough/low developing near the western end of this front, acting as a focus for new thunderstorm development after 00Z. This would put the best chances for new thunderstorms tonight across our southern and southeastern counties, generally east of a Coleman to Sonora line. However, there will still be a chance for at least scattered showers and thunderstorms farther west, mainly through midnight for the rest of the area. With precipitable water values at 1" to 1.5", there will a possibility of localized flash flooding, especially where any training occurs, which is most likely for areas from Junction to Brady to Brownwood and east. In addition to the flooding threat, severe thunderstorms will also be possible, especially near the warm front and any other mesoscale boundaries that form. The main hazards will be strong winds, a marginal large hail threat, and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. As drier air moves in from the west overnight, the rain should move eastward during the overnight hours, so have lesser chances after 06Z tonight for western areas. Most of the rain should be moving out of the area by Saturday morning. There may be a few very light showers with the low as it comes across, but these are expected to be very isolated and very light with minimal impact, so will not mention in the forecast. A cold front will move through tomorrow, so we will be slightly cooler across most areas tomorrow with northwest winds. 20 LONG TERM... (Saturday-Tuesday) A dry, mild weather pattern is on tap Saturday through Tuesday as the upper low departs to the east and a weak shortwave ridge of high pressure builds across West Central Texas. Look for partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid to upper 70s through the period. The warmest day should be on Monday, when the weak upper level ridge is overhead and the surface winds go light. We may see a few places warm into the lower 80s. (Wed-Fri) Another deep upper trough is progged by models to dig across Southern California by Wednesday and then lift northeast into the Central Plains by Thursday night. Meanwhile, a large surface high pressure system over the Mid Atlantic States will enable plenty of gulf moisture to pump into West Central Texas Wednesday through Friday. Showers and thunderstorms could form across the area Wed- Thursday as a warm, moist airmass coupled with upslope flow develops across West Central Texas. Precipitation may also form along the pre-frontal trough/frontal boundary on Friday as the upper level shortwave trough moves into Minnesota. Have inserted chance Pops for next Wed-Fri. 26 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Abilene 54 66 47 75 / 50 10 5 0 San Angelo 53 72 47 79 / 30 10 0 0 Junction 56 76 48 78 / 80 10 5 0 && .SJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. &&
