Area forecast discussion, May 19, 9:06 AM CDT, 2 hours 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 906 AM CDT Fri May 19 2017 .UPDATE... Zones have been updated to remove Severe Thunderstorm Watch 244. Showers and thunderstorms will continue over primarily the western Big Country through the morning hours. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 616 AM CDT Fri May 19 2017/ AVIATION... /12Z TAFS/ Showers and thunderstorms will continue this morning, mainly affecting KABI And KSJT. Stratus will also result in MVFR ceilings at all sites, except KABI. VFR conditions will return to all sites by late morning or early afternoon. Winds will be from the south at 12 to 20 knots, with higher gusts, decreasing to 5 to 10 knots this evening. A cold front will move through the area Saturday morning, resulting in gusty north winds and another chance of showers and thunderstorms. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 357 AM CDT Fri May 19 2017/ SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) Ongoing convection early this morning in the western Big Country has prompted Severe Thunderstorm Watch 244 that is valid through 9 AM. Currently, we have one severe thunderstorm in southwestern Nolan County with more severe convection moving in from the west. Primary concerns are large hail and damaging winds, although an isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out, and one tornado warning has already been issued to the west of our area. PoPs for this morning reflect the current convection that is expected to persist into the morning hours past 12Z. Expect much of these thunderstorms to weaken and dissipate by late morning. Additional shower and thunderstorm activity is possible farther east and south this afternoon. Tonight a cold front will move south through the area, bringing a chance for showers and thunderstorms to much of the area. The best chances will be east of a Haskell, to Abilene, to Junction line. The southern extent of shower and thunderstorm chances depends on the speed of the front as it moves south. With convection expected to accompany the cold front, the effective front will likely move to the south a little faster than models indicate, thus have likely chances as far south as the I-10 corridor. Severe weather will be possible with these storms overnight, with large hail and damaging winds being the main hazards. Expect another warm day with highs in the mid to upper 80s, and muggy overnight lows in the upper 50s to mid 60s. LONG TERM... (Saturday through Thursday) On Saturday, a cold front will be south of the forecast area, with north winds of 10 to 15 mph. The best PoPs will be across the southern half of the forecast area, with rain chances slowly pushing south of the area Saturday night into Sunday morning. Cooler temperatures are forecast behind the front, with highs mainly in the mid to upper 70s. The cold front will sag farther south on Sunday, with the better rain chances shifting south of the forecast area. Slight chance/low end chance PoPs were continued for the southern half of the region. For the first part of next week, a large upper level trough will move across the Plains. Both the GFS and ECMWF indicate a disturbance moving across the region Sunday night into Monday, resulting in shower and thunderstorm development, especially across the southern half of the forecast area. A cold front will then move south through the region late Monday into Tuesday, resulting in another chance of showers and thunderstorms. Cooler temperatures are expected behind the front along with gusty north winds. Temperatures will be below normal for the first half of the week, with highs mainly in the upper 70s to lower 80s and overnight lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. A slow warm up will ensue for latter part of the work week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
