Area forecast discussion, Aug 6, 2:44 PM CDT, 3 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 244 PM CDT Sun Aug 6 2017 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight) ...Heavy rain and severe thunderstorms possible... Last nights convection/MCS over Oklahoma has produced an outflow boundary that is moving southward across the southern panhandle. This boundary, coupled with a slow moving east-west oriented cold front will bring widespread showers and thunderstorms across the area this afternoon and into the evening, with some storms becoming severe. Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has much most of the area in a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms. With temperatures climbing into the upper 90s and dewpoint values greater than 64 degrees under southwesterly flow. CAPE values have climbed in the 3000-3500J/kg range. Upper level support is rather weak, but with the added lift from the approaching cold front and the inverted surface trough, expect rapid thunderstorm development with strong updrafts. The main hazards with these storms will be the potential for strong downburst winds in excess of 55mph. Heavy rainfall will also be possible with these storms as PWAT values have climbed above 1.85". Both the HRRR and the TTU-WRF model show large clusters of showers and thunderstorms moving ESE across the Concho Valley and big County through the evening. This will be the start of the heavy rainfall event. Localized minor flash flooding is possible especially in poor drainage and low lying areas. Rainfall totals through the evening will be between a half to three quarters of an inch with localized heavier amounts of up to one inch. (Monday) Showers and thunderstorms look to be fairly widespread across West Central Texas, especially during the afternoon. Appears best push on the front may be east of the area late tonight where a MCS may be rolling across Central and East Texas. This would allow the front to hang up across West Central Texas, combining with a little afternoon heating and abundant moisture. After perhaps a lull in the thunderstorm chances for the morning, showers and storms should bubble up through the afternoon and become more widespread, especially along and south of I-20. Will keep the PoP chances for Monday at likely for most locations, and with precipitable water values up over 2 inches for most areas and storm movement expected to be slow, will continue the mention of locally heavy rainfall. Not everyone will see big rain totals, but some areas will likely see 1 to 2 inches pretty easily. As for temperatures, what may end up as a mostly dry morning will allow readings to climb, with afternoon highs in the 80s to near 90 still looking reasonable. .LONG TERM... (Monday night through Saturday) A weak cold front will remain stalled somewhere across the central or southern portions of West Central Texas late Monday into Tuesday night. This will remain a focus for shower and thunderstorm development, so high end chance to likely PoPs were continued for this period. Precipitable water values will generally be in the 2- 2.25 range, with some higher values. This abundant moisture will result in the possibility of locally heavy rainfall. In addition, a few strong storms will be possible, with strong gusty winds being the main concern. High temperatures on Tuesday will be below seasonal normals, in the mid to upper 80s. The remnant weak cold front will still be in the vicinity of West Central Texas on Wednesday, so isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will once again be possible. Highs on Wednesday will be slightly warmer, generally in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. Thursday into the weekend, weak upper level ridging will build across West Central Texas. Disturbances are forecast to rotate around the northern periphery of the ridge, resulting in shower and thunderstorm development. At this point, it looks like the majority of this convection will remain north and west of the forecast area, but slight chance/low end chance PoPs were continued for mainly the Big Country. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

A few of these storms may reach severe levels, with damaging winds in excess of 60 mph the main concern. In addition, as storms become more widespread late tonight, some areas may see locally heavy rainfall and the potential for flash flooding will increase. This would be particularly true should the heavy rain occur over city streets, urban areas, low water crossings, and other flood prone locations. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday Storms should increase in coverage once again on Monday night and continue into Tuesday. Again, the potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding looks to be the main threat, with some areas perhaps seeing several inches of rain in a short amount of time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may be requested at times this afternoon and evening, and again on Monday.
