Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 11:50 PM CDT, 4 hours 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1150 PM CDT Fri Jun 30 2017 .AVIATION... /06Z TAFS/ Expect stratus to bring MVFR ceilings to most of West Central Texas south of Interstate 20 during the next 6 hours. Models this cycle continue to bring MVFR ceilings to all but the Abilene terminal. Conditions should return to VFR by 18Z. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 632 PM CDT Fri Jun 30 2017/ AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Look for challenging flight weather to develop, during the next 12 hours. The best area for thunderstorms is across the Big Country this evening. Thus, the Abilene terminal will continue to include vicinity thunderstorms, beginning around 04Z and continuing until around 09Z. Elsewhere, returning stratus later tonight will again bring MVFR ceilings to most of West Central Texas south of Interstate 20. Conditions should return to VFR, at all terminals, by 18Z tomorrow. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 339 PM CDT Fri Jun 30 2017/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Saturday) A shortwave trough continues to move across the Central Plains this afternoon and evening bringing a weak cold front just northwest of our CWA. At 3 PM, scattered showers have developed near Alpine and Fort Stockton along the dryline. Further development of showers and thunderstorms is expected late this afternoon and evening as the cold front moves south. Models are fairly inconsistent with how far south the thunderstorms are expected to go in the 7 PM to 1 AM time frame. The Texas Tech WRF and HRRR show a large line of thunderstorms moving as far south as northern Tom Green County. However, the NAM and the Rap tend to favor the activity being more scattered and located mainly north of the I-20 corridor. Therefore, a blend of the two was preferred with rain chances being focused mainly north of a Richland Springs to Robert Lee line. Some of these storms may become strong to severe as CAPE values near 2500 to 4000 j/kg are combined with 25-35 kts of 0-6 km shear. Damaging winds are the main threat tonight, however, some large hail may be possible as well. The SPC Day 1 Convective Outlook is in agreement with this forecast as the Big Country, Sterling County, and Coke County are in a marginal risk. It is also worth noting that a slight risk has been extended into part of Haskell and Throckmorton counties. LONG TERM... (Saturday night through Friday) Upper ridging will continue to bring subsidence and dry conditions the first half of next week. However, an upper trough will develop mid week over Texas and Oklahoma, bringing a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms over the Big Country (and perhaps farther south in the Concho Valley Wednesday night and Thursday). By Friday, upper ridging reestablishes itself with showers and thunderstorm chances becoming remote. The main concern next week will be the heat, with highs in the upper 90s to around 100 each day, and lows in the lower/mid 70s. Gusty winds and dangerous lightning will be the main concerns in thunderstorms. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
