AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 605 PM CDT THU JUN 13 2013 .UPDATE... WIDLEY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID EVENING SOUTH OF THE BIG COUNTRY. POPS WERE ADDED ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CONCHO VALLEY...HEARTLAND AND NORTHWEST HILL COUNTRY THROUGH MID EVENING. SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED BUT STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL...WIND GUSTS TO 45 MPH AND DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. NO OTHER CHANGES MADE AT THIS TIME. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 331 PM CDT THU JUN 13 2013/ SHORT TERM... /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/ AN UPPER LOW IS SITUATED OVER THE BIG BEND REGION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AT THE BASE OF AN UPPER RIDGE THAT EXTENDS NORTH THROUGH THE PLAINS STATES. PER LATEST RADAR...A LARGE AREA OF ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDS FROM THE BIG BEND COUNTRY EAST TO THE TEXAS GULF COAST. THIS AREA OF SHOWERS IS SLOWLY MAKING ITS WAY NORTH AND SHOULD ENTER OUR SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THE CENTER OF THE UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTH ON A TRACK JUST WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA TO A POSITION OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE BY LATE TOMORROW. THE BULK OF SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE CWA WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF RAINFALL FOR OUR AREA BEING THE SOUTHWESTERN CWA THROUGH TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW...WITH POPS DECREASING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. AFTERNOON HIGHS TOMORROW WILL REFLECT THE EXPECTED CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL WITH MID 80S OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN CWA TO THE MID 90S OVER THE NORTHEASTERN CWA...WHICH SHOULD BE RAIN FREE WITH LESS CLOUD COVER. LOOKING FOR MORNING LOWS TOMORROW IN THE LOWER 70S ACROSS ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA. LONG TERM... /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/ AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN IN NORTH CENTRAL MEXICO TODAY. THIS WILL MOVE NORTH INTO WEST TEXAS THROUGH SATURDAY...BEFORE MOVING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT. HAVE KEPT IN SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS FOR THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. HAVE KEPT HIGHER POPS TO THE WEST AS THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO BE THE LONE MODEL WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS INCREASING TO NEAR 1.75 INCHES...AND THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THE STORMS...WE MAY SEE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND MINOR FLOODING UNDER THE STRONGER STORMS. IN ADDITION...DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE...BUT WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED. FOLLOWING OUR RAIN CHANCES THROUGH SATURDAY...A WEAK RIDGING TO ZONAL PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO SET UP ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST U.S. THIS WILL BRING WARMER WEATHER BACK INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE FORECAST. HOWEVER...HEIGHTS/THICKNESSES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH THE SAME LEVELS AS WERE EXPERIENCED EARLIER THIS WEEK...SO HIGHS SHOULD STAY BELOW TRIPLE DIGIT VALUES FOR THE MOST PART. HAVE GONE AHEAD AND INTRODUCED SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR NORTHERN AREAS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE AGREES THAT A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH INTO THE RED RIVER VALLEY OR JUST SOUTH OF THERE BY EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A RESULT OF A SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS BEHIND AN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN MODELS CARRY PRECIPITATION FARTHER SOUTH INTO THE CONCHO VALLEY AND HEARTLAND...BUT WILL HOLD POPS NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR FOR NOW AS FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY WEAK AND WESTERLY IN OUR AREA...AND JUST HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT WILL MAKE IT IS QUESTIONABLE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
