AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 926 AM CDT MON JUL 2 2007 .UPDATE... HAVE EXTEND FLASH FLOOD WATCH FURTHER SOUTH TO INCLUDE ALL OF OUR EASTERN COUNTIES AS CURRENT RADAR INDICATES THESE COUNTIES WILL SEE HEAVY RAINFALL BY THIS AFTERNOON. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 614 AM CDT MON JUL 2 2007/ AVIATION...UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT TO THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. AS IT DOES...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS THE TERMINALS THIS PERIOD. WILL TEMPO TSRA INTO KABI AND WILL HIT THIS SITE THE HARDEST WITH CURRENT COMPLEX ABOUT 45 NM NORTHEAST OF THE TERMINAL AT THIS TIME. ELSEWHERE WILL USE VCTS AND PROB30 THIS AFTERNOON AT THE REMAINDER OF THE TERMINALS. BEST TIMING FOR ACTIVITY WILL BE BETWEEN 21-24Z WITH MAX HEATING. OVERNIGHT ANOTHER AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY AT KABI AND KJCT. ALSO EARLY THIS MORNING IFR AND MVFR CIGS ACROSS THE KSOA-KJCT-KBBD SITES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID MORNING BEFORE LIFTING. BRAZZELL PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 347 AM CDT MON JUL 2 2007/ DISCUSSION... WITH SOME EXPANSION OF THE UPPER HIGH AND BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS...THE WEAK UPPER LOW IS STARTING TO MOVE BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS OKLAHOMA. WITH ITS APPROACH...WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS. SOME OF THESE WILL AFFECT THE BIG COUNTRY EARLY THIS MORNING. THE MODEL TRENDS INDICATE THAT THE WEAK UPPER LOW WILL DROP SOUTH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...BUT ALONG A TRACK FARTHER TO THE EAST THAN EARLIER INDICATED. IN ADDITION...THE WEAK SHEAR AXIS ALOFT WILL NOT SHIFT AS FAR TO THE WEST. WITH THIS PLACEMENT...THE CHANCE AND COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY NOT BE AS MUCH AS PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED. DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE BY TONIGHT AND TUESDAY HOWEVER...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1.5 TO 2 INCHES AND 850 MB DEWPOINTS IN THE MID-TEENS. HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE FOCUSED ACROSS NORTHEASTERN PART OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS TODAY. GIVEN THE SYSTEM TRACK THE RAIN CHANCE WILL INCREASE AREAWIDE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. BELIEVE OUR AREA WILL SEE AT LEAST SCATTERED COVERAGE (AND NUMEROUS AT TIMES) FROM TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. WHETHER THE LARGE CONVECTIVE CLUSTER OVER SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS WILL HAVE A DECLINING INFLUENCE ON COVERAGE IN OUR AREA IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS POINT. WITH THE AIRMASS BECOMING VERY MOIST AND RELATIVELY SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE CONVECTION EXPECTED... LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WOULD BE A GOOD BET. ADDED A MENTION OF THIS TO THE FORECAST. WAS ON THE FENCE AS TO WHETHER TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH YET IN OUR AREA. TO BLEND IN WITH THE PLANS OF SURROUNDING OFFICES AND WITH THE BIG COUNTRY EXPECTED TO BE THE FIRST TO EXPERIENCE THE HEAVY RAINFALL HOWEVER...WE HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE IT FOR THAT AREA. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. GIVEN THE PRECEDING CONDITIONS...WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL TO START THE FLOODING AGAIN. WE WILL MONITOR HOW THIS SITUATION UNFOLDS...AND MAY BE EXPANDING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FARTHER TO THE SOUTH LATER TODAY OR TONIGHT. CARRYING THE CHANCE POPS THROUGH THURSDAY ACROSS OUR AREA. EVEN THOUGH WHAT/S LEFT OF THE UPPER LOW WILL BE REMOVED AND PROBABLY SOUTH OF THE RIO GRANDE IN MEXICO BY THAT TIME...THE SHEAR AXIS WILL BE POSITIONED ACROSS OUR AREA WITH A SOUTHEASTERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW AND MOISTURE FEED FROM THE GULF. THE INCREASED PRESENCE OF CLOUDS AND PROSPECTS FOR RAIN WILL HELP TO KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THIS WORK WEEK. RAIN CHANCES DECREASE FRIDAY AS HEIGHTS START TO BUILD SLIGHTLY ALOFT. MAY SEE A DRY NEXT WEEKEND...AND THE PATTERN INDICATES A GRADUAL WARMING TREND IN TEMPERATURES. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
