Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 604 AM CDT Fri Mar 15 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 416 AM CDT Fri Mar 15 2024 Early this morning, a cold front continues to push south across far southern portions of he area and will exit the I-10 corridor before daybreak. A few thunderstorms managed to develop just behind the front over eastern portions of the Concho Valley and Heartland just before midnight, with even a severe storm that produced golfball size hail near Ballinger. Those storms have since weakened and moved off to the east. Latest CAMS continue to show additional showers and storms developing along and just north of the front over southern sections between 4 and 6 AM, as moisture is lifted up and over the frontal boundary. This activity will also likely be aided by a weak disturbance lifting north across the area. Convection is expected to spread north through the morning hours, with less coverage this afternoon. Cannot rule out a strong storm or two along the I-10 corridor just north of the frontal boundary, but the better chance for organized severe storms will remain south of the area this afternoon. Temperatures will be considerably cooler today, with highs ranging from the upper 50s and lower 60s across the Big Country, to the mid and upper 60s along the I-10 corridor. For tonight, showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop over southwest portions towards daybreak Saturday, as another disturbance moves through. Temperatures will be cooler tonight, with overnight lows mainly in the upper 40s and lower 50s. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 416 AM CDT Fri Mar 15 2024 A couple weak short waves extending from the cut off upper low in the Southwest will bring showers and isolated thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday...as moist air is lifted over cold air at the surface. Rain amounts don't look high, but a few area could see a half inch or so. There is a marginal risk of severe storms Saturday in an areas that that clips southern Kimble and Mason counties...as GFS MUCAPES pick up to around 800 J/KG. Best chance of storms will be south of the region, however, with the main threat being large hail. The eventual track of the upper low has a low degree of confidence, but it may track across the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma the middle of next week. This would allow at a slight chance to chance of showers to continue into midweek. Temperatures will be on the cooler side into Wednesday, but highs warm up into the mid/upper 70s Thursday as surface trough with west winds moves through. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 600 AM CDT Fri Mar 15 2024 A band of Showers and thunderstorms developing along the I-10 corridor and near KBBD will move north the the I-20 corridor late this morning. Heavy rainfall with this storm may produce brief IFR visibilities. A few storms may produce large hail this morning along I-10. Storm coverage will become more isolated by afternoon, but showers and storms will again become more numerous by the end of the taf period. MVFR ceilings may temporarily rise to VFR this afternoon at KABI and KBBD before falling to MVFR this evening. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
