NWS San Angelo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 30, 10:35 PM CST, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 1135 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014 .AVIATION... /06Z TAFS/ An area of MVFR Stratus was again approaching KJCT and KBBD at 0430Z. Stratus is expected to develop northwest and north overnight, moving into KSJT and KABI, 10Z and 12Z, respectively. Stratus should scatter out around 15Z. San Angelo and Dyess radars at 0430Z indicated a LLJ around 40 KTS. Expect south surface gusts up to 25 KTS as the LLJ partially mixed down overnight. Winds however will be weakening midday as the surface pressure gradient loosens. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 648 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014/ AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ MVFR stratus will develop along the I-10 corridor after 6Z, scattering out mid morning. Patchy stratus may affect areas farther north, including KSJT and KABI, but CIGS will be short lived, if they occur. Strong south winds will continue to be factor with gusts around 25 KTS early this evening. Gusty character of winds will temporarily end this evening, then increase toward 5Z as a 40-50 low level jet develops. South winds Wednesday will not be quite as strong, with gusts mainly in the 20 to 25 KT range. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 345 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Tuesday) An upper level ridge centered over northern Mexico is dominating the weather across West Central Texas this afternoon. Mostly clear skies and afternoon highs are forecast to top out in the lower to mid 90s. Another unseasonably warm night is in store, with low temperatures generally in the mid 70s. In the meantime, an upper level trough across the Northern Plains will send a late season cold front into the Texas Panhandle Tuesday morning. By late afternoon, the front is forecast to be oriented northeast to southwest, from near the Red River, to the Trans Pecos region. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible along the boundary, mainly remaining north and west of our area through 00z Wednesday. A few storms could approach our western and northern counties by late afternoon, so slight chance PoPs were included for these areas. Highs will be very similar to what is forecast today, in the lower to mid 90s. LONG TERM... (Tuesday Night through Monday) The upper level ridge shifts back to the west slightly for mid week, as a potent upper level trough drops into the plains. This puts the southern plains into northwest flow aloft, and as we saw about 10 days ago, northwest flow is a wet pattern. Weak cold front moving into the southern plains will generate the first of several MCS's across the Panhandle and Oklahoma. These storm complexes will roll southeast into at least the northern portions of West Central Texas as early as Tuesday night and probably Wednesday night into Thursday as well. Outflow boundaries will sag farther south into the Concho Valley and Heartland, perhaps as far south as San Angelo and Brownwood. Hard at this point to pinpoint the exact timing and location of these storm complexes, but have raised rain chances and brought the chances farther south as well. Upper level ridge builds back to the east across West Central Texas for the end of the week and into the weekend. Thus, hot and dry conditions will return. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
