Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 643 AM CDT Sat Sep 16 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 311 AM CDT Sat Sep 16 2023 Main concern in the short term period will be a threat of strong to severe thunderstorms developing this morning, starting off across the Big country and the I-10 corridor early this morning. Showers and thunderstorms will become more widespread across much of the area throughout the remainder of the morning as the line of showers and thunderstorms currently entering the Big Country quickly tracks south to southeastward through West Central Texas. Models continue to show a weakening MCS tracking into our area and bringing mainly heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, and gusty winds to the area, with only a slight chance for some small to moderate hail in some of the strongest cells that develop. The convective activity is expected to weaken and taper off by the late morning to early afternoon hours, with a slight chance for some lingering showers sticking around the I-10 corridor through this evening. Temperatures will remain mild today reaching into the 80s this afternoon and dropping back into the 60s overnight tonight into Sunday morning. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Friday) Issued at 240 AM CDT Sat Sep 16 2023 The general trend in the long term will be that of an overall warmer and drier pattern as we go into next week. Mid level ridging will build into our area along with a return of low level southerly flow. By the middle to latter part of the week the ridge axis will be centered near west central Texas which will help to suppress convection from developing. Could see a few diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms midweek with the occasional weak shortwave skirting the region. Did scale back PoPs though as rain chances just don't look that great. Otherwise, expect a warming trend with temperatures rising back into the lower to mid 90s as the aforementioned ridge builds overhead. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 632 AM CDT Sat Sep 16 2023 A line of showers and strong to severe thunderstorms will move southeast across the terminals through the morning hours. Strong wind gusts to 50 mph, with locally higher winds will be possible, along with heavy rainfall. Expect temporary reductions to both visibilities and ceilings as convection moves through. Convection will end across the KABI/KSJT terminals by 16Z and across the KJCT terminal between 18 and 19Z. Expect VFR conditions this afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
