Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 6:23 PM CDT, 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 623 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2017 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Expect VFR conditions for most terminals through Saturday afternoon. Gusty southerly winds between 15-20KT will be possible across all terminals Saturday. Low clouds will affect KJCT terminal around 06Z bringing MVFR ceilings through the morning and early afternoon. Expect VFR conditions to return by 17Z for the KJCT terminal. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 345 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2017/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Saturday) On satellite imagery this afternoon, a MCV (Mesoscale Convective Vortex) is over the southeastern part of the DFW area, moving south- southeast. A smaller MCV is over our southeastern counties, and also tracking south-southeast. A couple of the CAMs indicate isolated to scattered convection affecting the southeastern part of our area late this afternoon and evening. Radar is bearing this out as well, with isolated showers developing east of a Coleman to Mason line. We are carrying 30 PoPs across the southeastern part of our area late this afternoon through late this evening. Moderate to strong instability and steep low-level lapse rates support the potential for a few strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds the primary threat. Skies will be generally clear behind the exiting MCV and late evening convection. Development of a low-level jet will keep the wind speeds higher across our northern and central counties. With lee surface trough to our west and increased pressure gradient across our area, gusty south winds are expected on Saturday, with winds backing a bit to south-southeast by early evening. For temperatures, little change is expected with lows tonight and highs Saturday above normal. LONG TERM... (Saturday Night through Thursday) Weak upper level low near Houston will continue into Sunday and Monday, leaving weak upper level ridging in place across West Central Texas. Stronger southwest flow aloft will prevail across portions of Far West Texas into the Panhandle. Surface dryline will become better established from the Permian Basin north into the Panhandle, with a few isolated showers and storms possible both Sunday and Monday afternoons. However, appear there will be enough cap with the weak ridge to keep any of these storms from moving into the area. Gonna be hot as well, with low level thermal ridge allowing highs to creep back up towards the 100 degree mark. Pattern starts to change for mid week as the upper level ridge begins to flatten out. It doesn't go very far away, but maybe far enough that a few storms will be possible across the northern Big Country by Wednesday afternoon and evening. We start to see more of a northwest or northerly flow by late week, setting up the chance for a little better chance for convection. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
