Area forecast discussion, May 11, 7:05 PM CDT, 4 hours 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX 705 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2016 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Thunderstorms will continue across much of the Big Country this evening. The KABI terminal may be affected during the next few hours, but it looks like most of the convection will remain north and east of KABI. Additional thunderstorms are possible later tonight through the early morning at least indicated high res models. Going with TEMPO groups for TSRA at KABI/KSJT for a few hours. Otherwise, stratus will develop by Thursday morning and have MVFR ceilings by 08Z to 11Z. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 313 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2016/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Thursday) Weak front has sagged into the northern Big Country this afternoon, with visible satellite showing the boundary draped across Haskell and Throckmorton Counties. Much drier behind the boundary, but ahead of the boundary low level instability is increasing with CAPE values above 3000 j/kg. Having said that, there has been healthy inhibition in place as well so far today. Not a lot upper support, so will depend on additional heating and convergence along the front to initiate convection. Will likely see the first storms develop later this afternoon across the Big Country near the frontal boundary, and perhaps farther south along an outflow boundary from last nights convection that looks to be laying north of Coleman and Brownwood. As inhibition continues to weaken, storms will begin to increase in coverage. Front is expected to stall, perhaps even push back north for a little while, and then start to move back south by around midnight. Models show more widespread convection developing along the front at this point and pushing south. Highest POP's will be across the Big Country overnight and then pushing south across the remainder of West Central Texas late tonight and into the day on Thursday. Chance POPS area wide on Thursday. Increased cloud cover and cooler air mass will lead to afternoon highs in the 70s and 80s. LONG TERM... (Thursday night and Wednesday) Rain chances will continue across much of West Central Texas through the extended forecast. A cold front that will move through much of the area Thursday, then stall somewhere across our southern counties Thursday night, aiding in continued shower and thunderstorm development. Exactly where this front stalls will dictate where the best PoPs will reside. At this point, the best PoPs look to be across our southern counties, with rain chances decreasing as you head north toward the Big Country. A few lingering storms will be possible Friday, especially across the Interstate 10 corridor. Highs on Friday will be near to slightly below seasonal normals, in the low to mid 80s. The next cold front will approach the northern Big Country Saturday morning, with an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some timing differences continue with this feature, but this front is forecast to slowly move through the area Saturday into Saturday night. This in combination with intermittent disturbances moving across the region in the southwest flow aloft, will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms to much of the forecast area. Highs on Saturday will be mostly in the mid to upper 80s, while highs on Sunday will be in the mid 70s to lower 80s. At least scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible for the first part of next week, as the region remains in southwest flow aloft. High will mainly be in the 80s with overnight lows mainly in the 60s. Daniels && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
