Area forecast discussion, Oct 13, 6:33 AM CDT, 5 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 633 AM CDT Sat Oct 13 2018 .AVIATION... /12Z TAFS/ Very challenging flight weather will continue for much of today. Look for MVFR to IFR ceilings, with occasional reduced visibility. Expect conditions to improve later this afternoon, as showers and thunderstorms move into east Texas. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 431 AM CDT Sat Oct 13 2018/ SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) ..Possible Flash Flooding... What remains of Tropical Storm Sergio will combine with favorable dynamics aloft to create conditions ripe for possible flash flooding. The main threat area is mainly north of our Interstate 10 corridor. There, a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through 1 PM CDT this afternoon. Additional rainfall amounts in the range of 1 to 3 inches are likely, with a few locations possibly receiving an inch or so more. Also, severe thunderstorms are possible, with large hail and damaging winds topping the list of primary threats. LONG TERM... (Sunday through Friday) ..More Rain with Possible Flash Flooding... With the main focus on the short term this forecast cycle, the long term didn't warrant major changes. Ample moisture, along with favorable upper dynamics, will combine with a strong cold front to produce conditions very favorable for additional rainfall. Models indicate surface winds, from the north, will continue into at least mid week. Thus, temperatures until then will likely be well below usual temperatures for October. Plus, with cold air near the surface, isentropic upglide will add to the mix to enhance the potential for additional rainfall, especially into Tuesday. For mid week through Friday, surface flow from the southeast returns, and temperatures warm. However, persistent moisture and continued flow aloft, from the southwest, will prolong conditions favorable for additional rain. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Abilene 68 58 73 38 / 90 10 50 80 San Angelo 82 62 78 42 / 70 10 40 80 Junction 83 67 82 46 / 70 10 30 90 Brownwood 77 62 77 41 / 90 20 60 80 Sweetwater 69 58 71 35 / 80 10 50 70 Ozona 82 64 79 43 / 40 10 30 90 && .SJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
