Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Angelo TX
645 AM CDT Fri Sep 21 2018

.AVIATION...
/12Z TAFS/

Look for very challenging flight weather, across all of West
Central Texas, through 12Z Saturday. Expect showers and
thunderstorms to produce very heavy rainfall; thus, visibilities
and ceilings will likely vary greatly and rapidly, between MVFR to
IFR.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 451 AM CDT Fri Sep 21 2018/

SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)

..Flash Flooding Possible...

This rain event, which has been the focus of numerous discussions,
over the last several days, will mature over West Central Texas
today and tonight. Models remain fairly consistent with the key
players of this event: 1) moist air, 2) upper dynamics, and 3)
surface forcing. Models continue to present precipitable water
numbers in the 1.5 to 2 inches range, for today and tonight, with
a gradual decrease, from west to east, after midnight tonight. An
upper trough, currently located to the west, will enhance the
upward ascent of this very moist air. Plus, a cold front will
also provide some forcing, as it moves south, across West Central
Texas, late this afternoon and tonight. Models place the greatest
QPF amounts over the Concho Vally, Heartland, and Big Country, for
these two periods. Thus, continuing the Flash Flood Watch, for
those areas, looks good. Rainfall accumulation amounts, across
the watch area, in the 1 to 3 inches range will be common, with
amounts over 4 inches possible, through sunrise Saturday morning.
Clearly, the greatest threat is flash flooding; nevertheless,
potential river flooding remains a concern, as well.

LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)

..Continued Rain Potential...

The potential for additional rain, across West Central Texas,
dominates the long term forecast. Although rain chances decrease,
during the day Saturday, as the upper trough moves east, some
lower rain chances remain into the start of this next work week.
Then, models indicate a couple of cold fronts next week will
continue to provide the potential for rain well into late next
week.
