Area forecast discussion, Feb 19, 5:27 PM CST, 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX 527 PM CST Sun Feb 19 2017 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Scattered convection continues across West Central Texas late this afternoon, producing occasional drops in cigs and vsbys all the way into IFR range. These storms will continue off and on through the remainder of the evening, with improving conditions after midnight for many locations. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 321 PM CST Sun Feb 19 2017/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Tomorrow) For the middle of February, it seems an awful lot like early April across West Central Texas today. A few light showers moved across the area late this morning and into the early afternoon hours. Clouds broke up enough to allow better insolation and better instability, and showers have managed to grow into thunderstorms this afternoon. Best coverage has been across the east and northeast counties in the Heartland and Big Country. Better lift approaches this evening as the main upper level trough approaches. Air mass further west into the Concho Valley and Edwards Plateau has been capped so far today, but this will weaken this evening as the lift arrives. Convection should begin to blossom across the Concho Valley and Edwards Plateau this evening and then shift east. Best rain chances will be across the Heartland and Hill Country counties, with smaller chances further west. Rain in the east may continue into the morning hours on Monday across the extreme Northwest Hill Country, but should quickly shift east and out of the area. Warm again tomorrow with highs in the low to mid 70s. 07 LONG TERM... (Monday Night through Sunday) Dry and Unseasonably Warm... The long term forecast remains dry, with temperatures remaining well above seasonal normals through Thursday. The upper trough that will pass over the forecast area tomorrow will form a closed low which will move southeastward over the Gulf of Mexico by Tuesday. Drier air will dominate West Central Texas through the coming week with afternoon highs well above seasonal norms through Thursday. Highs on Tuesday will be in the 70s and highs Wednesday and Thursday will be in the 80s. The next cold front will move through the area on Friday and will lower afternoon highs on Friday and Saturday close to seasonal norms in the mid 60s. Morning lows on Saturday will be around seasonal norms in the upper 30s, but morning lows will warm back into the 40s on Sunday and Monday. Sunday and Monday afternoons highs will warm back into the 70s. 15 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
