.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.
