AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX
640 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013
.DISCUSSION...
LOOK FOR VERY CHALLENGING FLIGHT WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AVIATION BELOW HAS DETAILS.
&&
.AVIATION...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS
TONIGHT AND PRODUCE THUNDERSTORMS...ALONG WITH MVFR
CEILINGS...REDUCED VISIBILITY...A GUSTY NORTH WINDS. THE LATEST
RUC INDICATES THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH
OF OUR INTERSTATE 10 CORRIDOR AROUND 08Z TONIGHT.
MEANWHILE...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED...AND ARE
DEVELOPING...ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SOME
OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.
BEHIND THE FRONT...I EXPECT OVERCAST MVFR CEILINGS AND LIGHT RAIN
TO DOMINATE WEST CENTRAL TEXAS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS FORECAST
PERIOD. ALSO...WATCH FOR VERY STRONG WINDS TOMORROW...ESPECIALLY
DURING THE AFTERNOON...AS COLD AIR MOVES INTO TEXAS FROM THE NORTH.
HUBER
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 513 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013/
UPDATE...
AFTER COORDINATION WITH THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER...WE HAVE
ISSUED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 146 WHICH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. I HAVE SENT A ZONE UPDATE TO INCLUDE THE
WATCH HEADLINE. AT THIS TIME...WE ARE THINKING THE MAIN THREAT
WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS.
HUBER
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 342 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013/
SHORT TERM...
THE COLD FRONT...WHICH IS MORE OF A WIND SHIFT IN SOUTHERN
AREAS...HAS MADE IT INTO THE LOWER TRANS PECOS AREA...AND INTO OUR
EXTREME WESTERN COUNTIES. A WEAK SFC MESOLOW OR HEAT LOW CAN BE SEEN
IN RADAR DATA IN THE NORTHERN CONCHO VALLEY. TEMPERATURES HAVE
SOARED INTO THE UPPER 90S ACROSS THE CONCHO VALLEY WITH UPPER 80S TO
LOWER 90S ACROSS THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
THERE IS STILL THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME ISOLATED STORMS DEVELOPING
THIS EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CONCHO VALLEY/NORTHERN EDWARDS
PLATEAU. WHILE SHEAR ISN/T THAT STRONG ACROSS THE AREA...WITH CAPE
VALUES JUST EAST OF THESE AREAS NOW EXCEEDING 3000 J/KG AT THE
SURFACE...ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WOULD QUICKLY BECOME STRONG TO
SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE MAIN HAZARDS.
THE MAIN CAVEATS WITH THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR AREA IS THE LACK OF
STRONG UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT OR A WELL DEFINED SFC FOCUS.
OVERNIGHT...THE COLD FRONT WILL SURGE SOUTHWARD...AND ADDITIONAL
ELEVATED CONVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT IS POSSIBLE. WITH INSTABILITY
DECREASING OVERNIGHT...EXPECT LESS OF A CHANCE FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS...BUT THERE COULD STILL BE THUNDERSTORMS THAT PRODUCE
SOME SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.
MUCH COLDER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE COLD FRONT FOR
TOMORROW...AND WINDS WILL ALSO BE QUITE STRONG...LIKELY 20 TO 35 MPH
THROUGHOUT THE AREA WITH GUSTS APPROACHING 45 MPH AT TIMES. THIS
WILL BE DUE TO STRONG PRESSURE RISES ASSOCIATED WITH A 1040+ MB
SURFACE HIGH MOVING INTO THE AREA. THURSDAY WILL BE A COLD...
CLOUDY...WINDY DAY WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AT TIMES. A WIND
ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM EARLY TOMORROW MORNING THROUGH
TOMORROW EVENING.
LONG TERM...
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...COLD TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
THURSDAY NIGHT AS STRONG SURFACE HIGH SETTLES IN ALONG WITH GOOD LOW
LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION. LOWS BY FRIDAY MORNING WILL BE IN THE 30S.
A FEW UPPER 20S ARE POSSIBLE IF WINDS CAN DECOUPLE...THAT MAY BE A
PROBLEM DUE TO THE WINDS STAYING UP. THE NAM MOS GUIDANCE HAS A LOW
OF 23 AT JUNCTION FRIDAY MORNING WHICH IS PRETTY AMAZING FOR MAY
3. WILL GO WITH A FREEZE WATCH FOR LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY
MORNING ACROSS ALL OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. TEMPERATURES WILL
MODERATE SOME FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S. ANOTHER COLD NIGHT FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 30S. FREEZING TEMPERATURES
ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY MORNING MAINLY ACROSS THE HEARTLAND AND
NORTHWEST HILL COUNTRY AS WINDS WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO
DECOUPLE SETTING UP IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING. SEE CLIMATE
INFORMATION BELOW FOR SPECIFICS.
SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...EXPECT A WARMING TREND THROUGH THE
PERIOD...WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE GFS
MODEL IS INDICATING AN UPPER LEVEL TROF UNDERCUTTING A RIDGE OVER
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SOME OF THIS ENERGY MAY MOVE INTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AS A DRYLINE DEVELOPS TO OUR WEST BY MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS TIME AND ALL OF WEST CENTRAL
TEXAS IS CURRENTLY IN SEVERE OR GREATER DROUGHT CONDITIONS. KEEPING
THE FORECAST DRY FOR NOW.
CLIMATE...
