Area forecast discussion, May 25, 11:21 PM CDT, 4 hours 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX 1121 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2016 .AVIATION... /06Z TAFS/ All terminals will be VFR through the night with the southeastern terminals degrading to MVFR by mid-morning. Winds will be southerly gusting 20-25 knots by noon at all terminals. An upper level storm system will move through the area through the afternoon and evening hours with thunderstorms expected at all terminals.Some thunderstorms are expected to be severe with large hail and damaging winds. Reduced visibilities and MVFR ceilings will accompany the storms. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 608 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2016/ AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ All terminals are VFR early this evening. There is a chance for showers and thunderstorms this evening into tonight, mainly for sites south of I-20, and have kept the VCTS for the evening hours. MVFR CIGs should make their way back into the southern sites after 06Z tonight. MVFR ceilings should continue through the morning hours at the southern terminals. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 323 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2016/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Thursday) The dryline has mixed east to a line from near Childress to east of Sweetwater, then bends back to the southwest to east of Sterling City and Big Lake. However, it appears to have lost momentum at this time, and is not progressing much farther, and will certainly begin retreating in the next few hours. As a matter of fact, radar imagery indicates a north/northwesterly movement in southern Irion/Reagan/Upton counties as of 3 PM. With the cap likely weakening, and very unstable air in place, have broadened slight chance thunderstorm chances north to areas generally along and east of a Throckmorton, to Abilene, to San Angelo line for this afternoon. However, not convinced that we will see initiation in our area. Although we are very unstable, we do think any coverage of showers/storms will be isolated in our area. And while there is a Slight Risk for severe weather in our area, due to the lack of coverage and lack of confidence in development, have not inserted severe wording into grids. We also have a lot of moisture to work with, so if thunderstorms can develop along/east of the dryline, they will likely be able to produce locally heavy rainfall. Have not made much change to the overnight precipitation chances as an upper level shortwave is still expected to move across the area, interacting with elevated instability and increasing chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms after 00Z this evening. We will continue to have copious amounts of moisture to work with, resulting in the chance for locally heavy rainfall, and localized flooding with any thunderstorms tonight. In addition, the Slight Risk will also continue through the overnight hours with the main hazards being large hail and dangerous lightning. Tomorrow, as the main upper level low now over southern California approaches the area, large-scale lift will increase, and embedded shortwave energy will likely move across the area in southwest flow. As the dryline mixes east into the area, we should see better chances than today for scattered thunderstorms developing across our western counties, then moving northeast. With ample instability, and increasing deep layer shear, severe thunderstorms will again be possible with any storms that develop. The main hazards will continue to be large hail, damaging winds, dangerous lightning, and an isolated tornado or two. Lows tonight will drop into the lower to middle 70s, and highs tomorrow will be similar today in the mid 80s to lower 90s. LONG TERM... (Thursday Night and Friday) Thunderstorms are a good bet Thursday night into Friday morning across much of West Central Texas. Also. severe weather is possible Thursday evening. The combination of increasing large scale ascent and a dryline just west of the area will provide focus for thunderstorms Thursday night and Friday morning. Some storms may be severe Thursday evening due to strong instability and 0-6KM shear of 40 to 45 knots. The main hazards will be large hail, damaging winds and an isolated tornado or two. Also, the rainfall amounts from the models are looking kind of high. Local rainfall amounts of 2 to 3 inches are not out of the question, especially across the Heartland and Northwest Hill Country as PW values will be around 1.5 inches and surface dewpoints will remain around 70. The heavy rainfall amounts may cause localize flooding. Most of the convection should be over by Friday afternoon. Also, the dryline will make progress east into the western half of the area Friday afternoon. Highs will be mid 80s to lower 90s, possibly a few degrees warmer across the western 1/3 of the area. (Friday Night through Wednesday) An unsettled weather pattern will continue across West Central Texas due to an upper level west-southwest flow pattern(disturbance moving through the flow) and a dryline remaining west of our area. Nothing to unusual for the Memorial Day weekend. Mainly have chance Pops going through much of this time period. Also, a few storms may be severe mainly during the afternoon and evening due to strong instability and some 0-6KM shear. Highs will be in the 80s with lows in the 60s. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
