Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 11:19 PM CDT, 2 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1119 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Enhanced risk for severe storms through tonight - Marginal to Slight risk of excessive rainfall and flash flooding through tonight. - Dry weather expected early next week, with rain chances returning by mid to late week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday) Issued at 140 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025 ...Strong to severe thunderstorms expected this afternoon into tonight... Early this afternoon, a surface cold front remains nearly stationary and extends from near Midland, northeast to just south of Abilene and then into north central Texas. A dryline extended south of the front across West Texas into northern Mexico. Overall thinking has not changed much, with the latest CAMs still showing strong storms developing along and north of the frontal boundary by mid to late afternoon, with additional storms developing near the triple point to our west/southwest by early evening. Other storms are possible in the warm sector south of the front and east of the dryline this afternoon and early evening but should be more isolated. Strong deep layer shear, combined with steep mid level lapse rates will support large to very large hail (2 inches or greater) with any storms that develop. Later this evening, a strong low level jet will develop, which will enhance low level shear and may support a few tornadoes with any surface based storms and those that remain intact along the frontal boundary. By late this evening, additional thunderstorm development is expected to our west, along a Pacific front. These storms are expected to form into a squall line, which will quickly move east across the area overnight. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threat, although a tornado or two is also possible. The other concern will be heavy rainfall and some flooding threat. The greatest threat for flooding will be across the Big Country, where training of cells is likely along the front into the evening hours, followed by additional heavy rainfall associated with the squall line late tonight. Showers and storms are expected to end from west to east late tonight, with most of the activity east of the forecast area by daybreak. Easter Sunday looks rather pleasant, as drier air filters into the region, with clearing skies and plenty of sunshine by afternoon. Highs will range from the lower 70s across the Big Country, to the upper 70s along the I-10 corridor. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through next Saturday) Issued at 1243 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025 ...Chance of thunderstorms each day next week, beginning Tuesday... Winds shift back south Monday, with low level moisture and strong instability returning by Tuesday (GFS Mucape rise into the 2000-3000 J/KG range.) Scattered showers and thunderstorms develop each day, from Tuesday through Thursday, as upper disturbances move over in southwest flow aloft. The dryline itself remains well west of the region in the Permian Basin and against the mountains in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico, but it may be source of storm initiation in the afternoon, with storms moving east and northeast over the region. With fairly strong instability, some storms could be severe. On Thursday night and Friday a weak cold front may move into the region, decreasing instability somewhat, but a few showers and thunderstorms may still develop. Highs will range mainly in the upper 70s to lower 80s with storms and cloud cover next week. The coolest morning will be Monday with lows in the mid and upper 40s, with upper 50s to lower 60s mid and late week. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1120 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025 North-to-south line of storms will push eastward across all terminals over the next 4-6 hours with very strong wind gusts. Once the line passes, ceilings should improve around sunrise. Some increase in northwest winds should occur during the day before decreasing by late evening. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
