AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 312 PM CDT SAT AUG 12 2006 .SHORT TERM... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN DEVELOPING OVER THE AREA...IN THE BROAD CONVERGENCE ZONE OF A SURFACE TROUGH/THETA E RIDGE STRETCHED FROM WSW TO ENE ROUGHLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF THE CWA. ALSO HAVE OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARIES FROM MID LEVEL CLOUDCOVER ACROSS THE AREA. WILL HAVE AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF THE CWA TONIGHT WITH THE CONVECTION ALREADY STARTED. HAVE NOTICED IN THE LAST SEVERAL MINUTES AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS WELL AS INTENSITY OF THESE STORMS. ONE CELL NORTHWEST OF ABILENE WAS DISPLAYING A LARGE WELL- DEFINED TBSS...AND HAVE ISSUED A WARNING ON IT ALREADY FOR JONES COUNTY. WILL ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR FAIRLY QUICK HEAVY RAINFALL...AND SOME LOCAL FLOODING WITH DECENT MOISTURE IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION COMBINED WITH THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL AGAIN BE WARM WITH CLOUDCOVER ACROSS THE AREA. FOR TOMORROW WITH CONTINUE THE SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHRA/TSRA MAINLY FOR WESTERN AREAS. WE WILL AGAIN HAVE LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES FROM THE DAY BEFORE...AND LIKELY PATCHY CLOUDCOVER LEFT BEHIND BY CONVECTION TONIGHT. HAVE LEFT WX OUT OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED JUST EAST OF THE CWA WHICH WILL HELP HOLD CONVECTION DOWN A LITTLE BIT. .LONG TERM... BY MONDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE CUTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. CONVECTION WILL BE LIKELY ALONG THE BOUNDARY AS IT MOVES SOUTH INTO THE UNSTABLE AIR MASS. HAVE KEPT THE CHANCE POPS FOR THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY AREA ON MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY...SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD INCREASE AND BECOME GUSTY...AND TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY WARM. THIS WILL ALLOW HUMIDITY VALUES TO FALL DOWN TO NEAR 20 PERCENT OR LOWER SOUTH OF THE FRONT...MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AREAS OF THE CWA. THIS WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE WILDFIRE DANGERS ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE DRYNESS OF THE FUELS ACROSS THE AREA DUE TO THE CURRENT DROUGHT CONDITIONS. THIS FRONT WILL LINGER THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT KEEPING RAIN CHANCES FROM SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE FOR THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN 2/3 OF THE CWA. WILL BACK POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE BY TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT BEGINS TO RETREAT TO THE NORTH. AT THE SAME TIME...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO ASSERT ITSELF AGAIN OVER THE AREA.
