Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 6:26 PM CDT, 2 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 626 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 251 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Cold front has sagged all the way into the Concho Valley and Heartland this afternoon. Temperatures along and ahead of the front well in the 90s to near 100, while readings north of the front are mainly in the 70s. MOdels continue to show isolated convection along and north of the boundary with storm likely to become severe and shift east pretty quickly. Visible satellite showing some cu development trying to take place, but it may still be 22 or 23Z before we see any deep convection take off. HRRR shows additional convection trying to develop late this evening or into the early morning hours and this will need to be monitored. As for temperatures, front will still have an affect on temperatures on Tuesday, with readings in the lower 90s across I-20 to near 100 again across the Concho Valley south into the Edwards Plateau. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through next Sunday) Issued at 251 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 More focused on the short term, but all indications are that the summer like heat is still on track for mid to late week as the upper level ridge builds into the area. Models have been consistent in forecasting highs above 105 across the Concho Valley and not far from that across the remainder of the are area. If this works out, then Heat Advisory/Warning criteria will be met and heat products will need to be issued. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 626 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Mainly VFR conditions expected through the next 24 hours at all sites. However, we will have some severe TSRA to deal with that may impact the KBBD site through the next few hours. Will update the TAF if necessary. KABI will have some MVFR ceilings for another few hours before scattering out to VFR. Otherwise, may see some brief periods of MVFR ceilings at KABI, KBBD, and especially KJCT early Tuesday morning through 15Z or 16Z, after which all sites will improve to VFR with south to southwest winds around 10 knots at most sites. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
