Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 10:43 PM CDT, 1 hour 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX 1043 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2016 .UPDATE... The forecast has been updated for the newly issued Severe Thunderstorm Watch, which is in effect for Sutton, Menard, Kimble, Mason and San Saba. The HRRR has been consistent with indications for new convective development across the southeastern part of our area toward Midnight. Farther north, the Tornado Watch continues in effect until Midnight. Once the convections clears those counties, early Watch cancellation is possible. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 947 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2016/ UPDATE... The Tornado Watch has been cancelled for our Big Country counties, and farther south to Coke and Tom Green Counties. PoPs were adjusted and reduced based on the current placement of the convection. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 659 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2016/ AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ A strong to severe QLCS is moving east across the Big Country, with the trailing portion across eastern Coke County. Other scattered showers and thunderstorms are developing north of Ozona and just west of San Angelo. The KABI ASOS recorded a 55 knot wind gust at 644 pm. The QLCS will continue moving east through the rest of the Big Country through late evening. Other storms could develop further and strengthen near and southwest of San Angelo. Addition thunderstorm development could occur into the night farther east and south across west central Texas. Outside of convective activity, VFR conditions are expected. All convection should be out of west central Texas by 3 AM. Generally clear skies are expected during the day Wednesday with west winds 10-15 knots. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 343 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2016/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight) Large Hail and Damaging Winds and Tornadoes This Evening... A dryline and strong upper dynamics will combine to continue thunderstorms this evening. With surface based CAPE values around 4000 J/Kg across many of our eastern counties this afternoon, any thunderstorms which develop will rapidly intensify. The dryline this afternoon extends just west of a line from near Ozona to Sweetwater. Thunderstorms have developed along and near this dryline and will move into our western counties within an hour. Movement will be toward the northeast. Based on all indicators, the greatest tornado threat lies mainly along and northeast of a line from Haskell, to Abilene, to Coleman, to Brownwood. In addition, very large hail is possible northeast of this line. We have issued Tornado watch number 109, which continues until midnight CDT tonight, and includes those counties lying along and east or northeast of a line from Haskell, to Roby, to San Angelo, to San Saba. Later tonight, a Pacific cold front will push from west to east across West Central Texas and bring another round of thunderstorms. As this front moves across West Central Texas, thunderstorms will form a line, and this line will extend from north to south across most of West Central Texas. (Wednesday) Dry and Cooler... The Pacific front will quickly push convection east of West Central Texas and bring drier air, along with slightly cooler temperatures. High tomorrow will be mainly in the mid to upper 80s. winds will be mainly from the west in the 10 to 15 mph range. LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Tuesday) Generally dry conditions are expected on Thursday ahead of the next approaching upper level shortwave trough. High temperatures Thursday afternoon are forecast to be in the upper 80s to near 90. Rain chances will increase Thursday night across the area as the aforementioned upper level trough moves closer and large scale lift results in scattered showers and thunderstorms. A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible. Friday afternoon, a Pacific front will move through West Central Texas, with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing along and ahead of this feature. This will result in a better chance of strong to severe thunderstorms, especially across the eastern half of the forecast area. In addition, locally heavy rainfall will be possible. Highs on Friday will mainly be in the mid to upper 80s. Generally dry conditions are expected this weekend, with highs mainly in the upper 70s to mid 80s, and overnight lows in the 50s. The next upper level trough will approach the Southern Plains early next week. Differences continue in the exact timing and track of this system, but a wetter/cooler pattern looks likely for the first part of next week. Daniels && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
