Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 12:21 AM CDT, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1221 AM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday) Issued at 205 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 A band of scattered thunderstorms is indicated by the multiple short range models (CAMs included) this afternoon and evening. This activity is most likely to occur across areas near Abilene and move east along the I-20 corridor. Recent satellite imagery indicates a small amount of cumulus developing, which may indicate this solution is likely to be the expected outcome. A Marginal Risk for severe weather has been included across this area for the remainder of today by the Storm Prediction Center. Large hail (1"+ in diameter) and damaging winds (60 MPH range) are the main hazards. Otherwise, the bigger risk across the area with regards to severe weather is on Monday afternoon and evening. It is worth mentioning that the best odds of seeing this activity for tomorrow remains across areas east of a Throckmorton to Junction line. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are a possibility (20-30% chance). Any thunderstorm activity will be capable of producing large hail (2"+ in diameter) and damaging winds (60 MPH range). An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. Otherwise, high temperatures will continue to be on the rise with highs well into the triple digits. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Saturday) Issued at 258 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 Storms across the Big Country and Heartland that develop Monday afternoon may linger into evening hours, but otherwise looks like a predominantly dry forecast for the upcoming week and weekend for now. Same basic idea continues...with a trough to the east and a trough to the west and leaving a weak ridge in place across the Southern Plains for most of the week. May have a bit of a weakness in the ridge and more zonal flow for mid week and forecasted temperatures are down a few degrees verse what we were looking at yesterday. But ridge builds back into place for the weekend and temperatures again start to climb well above 105 in some areas. As mentioned yesterday, will be interesting to watch whether temperatures can be maximized with the abundant unusually green conditions across much of the area, as well as the evapotranspiration going on. Temperatures around San Angelo this afternoon are lagging behind some what is expected, although dewpoints are higher and the Apparent temperatures are well above 100. As some drying occurs this week, may well see this few degrees temperature difference come to an end and allow readings to soar. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1220 AM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Thunderstorms to the north of KABI at 5Z will move east, staying north of the terminal, but may send an outflow boundary down, giving some gusty north winds for an hour or so through 7Z. Isolated thunderstorm possible Monday afternoon at KABI but given the isolated nature of the storms, did not include VCTS at this time. Southeast winds gusting up to 18 KTS likely across the terminal by noon. KABI may see a shift to east to northeast winds mid to late afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
