Area forecast discussion, May 31, 6:21 PM CDT, 5 hours 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 621 PM CDT Mon May 31 2021 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 223 PM CDT Mon May 31 2021 At this hour, a line of rain and thunderstorms was located along a cold front as it slowly moved southward. Heavy rainfall was occurring with this activity and will continue to be the case as it progresses southward this afternoon. The (somewhat) good news is that this line will be much more progressive than it was over the Big Country this morning, which means rainfall totals for areas further south will not be as high. But, given the moist atmosphere and plenty of dynamics, many areas could easily receive over an inch of rainfall this afternoon and evening. In addition, some strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible across the Concho Valley and Edwards Plateau this afternoon and evening. Much of this may occur ahead of the line or embedded in the line itself. Regardless, the main concern with this activity is locally heavy rain. Overnight, this activity will continue southward with the frontal boundary, and push into the Hill Country around sunrise. Surface high pressure will start to fill in from the north behind this front during the day tomorrow, which should keep most rain and thunderstorm chances confined to the northwest Hill Country and I-10 corridor late Tuesday afternoon. Even so, some isolated showers will be possible during the day for areas further north. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through next Monday) Issued at 223 PM CDT Mon May 31 2021 The active pattern will remain on tap for the rest of this week and through the weekend. Several shortwave impulses will rotate around the base of a large trough located over the Midwest, while an upper-level low becomes pseudo-closed over Baja California by Tuesday night. Both of these features will continue to provide dynamics for unsettled weather across Texas. Dewpoints at the surface will continue to be in the 60s across the area, while PWATs will be in the 1.5 to 2 inch range. In addition, the cold front will sink further south into the Hill Country, which should provide plenty of lift for showers and thunderstorms. As a result, more rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be likely, mostly in the afternoon and evening for areas south of I-20. Going into Thursday and Friday, the upper-level pattern will undergo some changes as the axis of the Midwest trough will move to the eastern US, so Texas will lose the dynamics from this feature. However, the pseudo-closed low should start to drift eastward and move into Texas, where it will become an open wave. The cold front will also lift back northward and become stationary. These features should continue to provide ample opportunity for more rain and thunderstorms across much of western and central Texas this weekend, especially each afternoon. By early next week, models hint at this open wave moving eastward and a ridge building in, but all things are subject to change, so stay tuned. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 616 PM CDT Mon May 31 2021 Widespread shower and thunderstorm activity will continue through much of the evening hours. A few locations have held onto VFR cigs so far this afternoon, but cigs should also deteriorate this evening behind a cold front. Widespread IFR cigs expected overnight and into Tuesday morning, with conditions gradually improving to VFR cigs by mid to late afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Abilene 64 76 60 79 / 90 20 30 40 San Angelo 65 78 62 82 / 80 30 50 60 Junction 67 81 64 80 / 60 50 60 70 Brownwood 66 79 62 79 / 80 30 40 50 Sweetwater 62 75 60 79 / 80 20 30 30 Ozona 65 77 63 80 / 70 30 60 60 && .SJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
