Area forecast discussion, May 7, 8:40 PM CST, 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 940 PM CDT SUN MAY 7 2006 .UPDATE... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG A LINE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CONCHO VALLEY AND THE NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU...AS THE LOW LEVEL JET BEGINS TO INTENSIFY THIS EVENING. HAVE BOOSTED POPS INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY ALONG AND EAST OF THE LINE FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 629 PM CDT SUN MAY 7 2006) AVIATION... THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVERHEAD OF KSJT THIS EVENING AND TRACK OFF TO THE EAST...WHILE MORE SCATTERED ACTIVITY DEVELOPING OFF TO THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND TRANS PECOS. WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE A TEMPO FOR STORMS AT KSJT FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. NOTHING HEADED TOWARDS KABI AT THE MOVEMENT...AND WITH THEM MUCH FARTHER NORTH OF A STATIONARY FRONT...CONVECTION WILL HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING THAT FAR NORTHEAST ANY TIME SOON. WILL LEAVE THEM DRY FOR NOW. OTHERWISE...LOW CLOUDS SHOULD FILL BACK IN TONIGHT. BETTER SOUTHWEST FLOW ON MONDAY SHOULD HELP DRY THINGS OUT A LITTLE...AT LEAST ENOUGH TO HAVE THE CEILINGS CLIMB AND EVENTUALLY BREAK DURING THE AFTERNOON. PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 511 PM CDT SUN MAY 7 2006) UPDATE... UPDATED FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 305. IN WEST CENTRAL TEXAS THIS IS ESSENTIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF A JUNCTION...EDEN...BALLINGER .SWEETWATER...ROBY LINE. STRONG THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED JUST WEST OF SAN ANGELO AND ARE MOVING NORTHEAST. PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 356 PM CDT SUN MAY 7 2006) SHORT TERM... LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATING MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES DOMINATE WEST CENTRAL TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. AT THE SURFACE...TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM AROUND 70 ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY TO 80 AT JUNCTION. MINOR SHORT WAVES...EMBEDDED IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS TONIGHT. TOUGH TO PINPOINT WHERE THE BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT WITH THESE WEAK IMPULSES. SO...DECIDED TO GO WITH 30 POPS FOR ALL OUR COUNTIES TONIGHT. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES BEGIN THE DAY TOMORROW. HOWEVER...A SURFACE DRYLINE PUSHES WELL INTO INTO WEST CENTRAL TEXAS BRING PARTIAL CLEARING BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THERMAL RIDGE AT 850 MB CONTINUES TO EXPAND TOMORROW. SO...AFTERNOON HIGHS TOMORROW IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S LOOK GOOD. WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW LINGERING SURFACE BOUNDARIES...AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF DE-STABILIZATION...WILL CONTINUE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR OUR EASTERN COUNTIES FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON INTO TOMORROW EVENING. WITH THE NEXT SURFACE COLD FRONT STILL ON TRACK TO PUSH SOUTH ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS ON WEDNESDAY...I EXPECTED MAV MOS GUIDANCE NUMBERS FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS TUESDAY TO BE WARMER THAN MAV MOS NUMBERS FOR TOMORROW. HOWEVER...GFS40 KICKS THE EXPANDING 850 MB THERMAL RIDGE IN THE HEAD AND DRIVES IT BACK WEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON...AS A LARGE QPF BULLSEYE DEVELOPS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS BY 00Z WEDNESDAY. THE GFS40 DOES PUSH AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW ACROSS CENTRAL MEXICO TO A POSITION JUST EAST OF THE BIG BEND BY 00Z WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO DROP OUR AFTERNOON HIGHS TUESDAY INTO THE UPPER 80S FOR SAN ANGELO AND JUNCTION AS THE MAV MOS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS. FOR WEDNESDAY...SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE INTERSTATE 10 CORRIDOR DURING THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS WEDNESDAY SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN. BUT...NUMBERS CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMALS AND MOS GUIDANCE LOOK REASONABLE. LONG TERM... TEMPERATURES REMAIN COOL AND CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMALS THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS ESSENTIALLY STATIONARY OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEKEND. THEN...RETURN SOUTHEAST LOW-LEVEL FLOW BEGINS TO BRING MOISTURE BACK INTO WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. RAIN CHANCES LOOK QUESTIONABLE. THUS...WILL CONTINUE LOW POPS FOR THE LONG TERM. SJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT MONDAY FOR THE FOLLOWING ZONES: COKE...CONCHO...CROCKETT...FISHER...IRION... KIMBLE...MENARD...NOLAN...RUNNELS...SCHLEICHER...STERLING... SUTTON...AND TOM GREEN. && .SJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
