Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service San Angelo TX
657 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017

.AVIATION...
/00Z TAFS/

Scattered thunderstorms continue to develop this evening across
the area east of a Haskell to Ballinger line. While the
possibility of convective redevelopment cannot be ruled out
tonight, uncertainty in placement precludes an inclusion of
TSRA at our TAF sites at this time. Carrying VCTS at KABI and
KSJT until 02Z, and will closely monitor radar trends and update
if needed. VFR conditions are expected through early tonight. Low
cloud development/expansion to the north-northwest is expected
overnight with MVFR ceilings. Our southern terminals will be
affected shortly after 06Z, and KABI and KSJT should be affected
by 09Z. Low cloud cover should persist through Friday morning,
and ceilings should gradually climb above 3000 feet between 1 PM
and 3 PM Friday. Isolated to scattered thunderstorm development
will be possible after 3 PM Friday. South-southeast winds will
continue through the next 24 hours.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 341 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017/

SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Friday)

A conditional forecast for severe weather tonight. Strong
instability was present with MUCAPES up to 4000 J/KG and 0-6KM shear
of 45 KTS. Afternoon storms have been to the north of West Central
Texas this afternoon...as surface convergence has been weak earlier
this afternoon. However low level convergence has significantly
increased from Sweetwater to Haskell...where isolated storms were
beginning to develop. If a storm does develop, it could become
severe very quickly with no cap in place. A tornado watch is in
effect for all but the southern tier of West Central Texas until 10
PM.

The better chance of storms may come in after midnight as the upper
low over Utah moves into N. New Mexico, with shortwave rounding it.
Could see some severe weather given the instability, but don't
expect an organized severe weather event.

Friday, the severe weather outlook day 2 again has a slight
risk/enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms as dryline will be along
San Angelo CWA western boundary...from IRAAN to Sweetwater and Roby.
Instabilities will still be high again, with a stronger upper
shortwave moving through in the afternoon...and severe storms
will again be possible along and east of the dryline.

LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Thursday)

As another upper low moves out of the Central Rockies and over
the Southern Plains, a cold front will be pushed into West
Central Texas Friday night. From Friday night through Sunday
morning, the best chance of showers and thunderstorms will be over
our southeastern counties. Showers and thunderstorms will
generally be south of I-20 Sunday and Sunday night. Most of the
forecast area will have a chance of precipitation Monday through
Tuesday night as the next cold front pushes south through the
forecast area.

High pressure will build over the area on Wednesday bringing dry
weather to the forecast area. A return of southeast winds will
bring warmer temperatures with afternoon highs in the upper 80s
by Thursday.
