Area forecast discussion, May 19, 6:38 PM CDT, 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 638 PM CDT Fri May 19 2017 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Have vicinity thunder at KABI and KBBD for isolated thunderstorms this evening. A cold front will move south through the Big Country toward midnight and along the I-10 corridor around sunrise. A line of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected along the front. Storms may persist through the day along the I-10 corridor. Otherwise MVFR stratus will develop toward or after midnight, both ahead and behind the front. Have ceilings rising to VFR midday over all but southern terminals as drier air moves in. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 308 PM CDT Fri May 19 2017/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Saturday) An upper low now centered over Colorado this afternoon will lift northeast over the Central Plains by Saturday afternoon. A cold front will push south through the Big Country tonight and through the remainder of the forecast area by noon tomorrow. Showers and thunderstorms will be likely over most of the forecast area tonight with the better chance tomorrow over the southern half of the area. Lows tonight will be in the mid to upper 50s across the northern half of the area as the cold front moves through. The southern half of the area will see lows in the morning in the low to mid 60s. LONG TERM... (Saturday night through next Friday) As the upper low lifts further to the northeast and over the Great Lakes area, the upper flow over the forecast will be zonal. Precipitation will be confined primarily to the southern half of the area Sunday night through Monday night. As upper high pressure builds over the western CONUS on Monday and our upper flow veers to the northwest, a disturbance in the northwest flow aloft will bring another chance of showers and thunderstorms to the most of the forecast area. An upper disturbance rotating around the upper low stationed over the Great Lakes region will push the next cold front south through the forecast area on Tuesday with another chance of showers and thunderstorms for all the CWA. Cooler post-frontal afternoon highs on Tuesday and Wednesday will mostly be in the 70s with northernly winds. The forecast will be dry Wednesday through the end of the week as afternoon highs warm back into the 80s on Thursday and the 90s on Friday. Morning lows on Wednesday in the 50s will warm into the 60s Thursday and Friday morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
