AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 350 PM CDT SAT JUN 13 2015 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Sunday) A quasi-stationary front was analyzed across the northern Big Country this morning, but this boundary has become more diffuse this afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms have initiated along and north of this boundary, mainly affecting locations just outside of the CWA. However, recent satellite imagery has shown an outflow boundary moving south across Haskell and Throckmorton Counties, which could lead to additional development of storms south of the current complex. Farther west, additional storms are developing, favoring the higher terrain west of Ft. Stockton. A few cells have tried to get going north of Snyder, sparked from what appears to be a gravity wave moving southeast across the South Plains. However, this activity has really struggled to maintain any intensity. MLCAPE values are on the order of 1000-2000 J/kg, but effective bulk shear values are on the low side (<25 kts), suggesting generally disorganized convection this afternoon. Most of the area will remain dry over the next few hours (excluding the northern Big Country), but thunderstorms to our west are expected to grow upscale into a loosely organized MCS, moving east into the area during the evening and early morning hours. The general trend should be for this activity to weaken as it moves into West Central TX. We could see locally heavy rainfall, but most areas will likely see less than 1/4". Overnight temperatures will largely be in the lower 70s, but a few areas could dip into the upper 60s in and around thunderstorms. Any lingering precipitation from overnight convection is not expected to persist long on Sunday. Most of the area will likely remain dry through midday, with a few showers and thunderstorms developing in the moist, uncapped environment. Like today, the threat for severe weather will remain low. Highs tomorrow will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s. .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through next Saturday) This afternoon, an upper-level trough was located west of the region. Over the next few days it will continue to slowly move our way, weakening as it does so. Farther south and east, a tropical low was moving across the Yucatan, and this low is forecast to move towards the middle Texas coast by Tuesday. Moisture will continue to remain plentiful, with precipitable water values in the 1.5 to 2 inch range. This afternoon's numerical model runs also show an upper-level perturbation crossing the Panhandle tomorrow night, which may help organize convection to our northwest. If this was to pan out, a cluster of thunderstorms may grow upscale into an MCS if their associated could pools consolidate, with an east to southeast propagation expected (similar to last night and what may occur tonight). Locations north and west of a line from Ft. Lancaster, to Robert Lee, to Albany would stand the best chance of seeing any rainfall from this potential system. The aforementioned trough (what's left of it) will cross West Central Texas during the first half of the week, helping pull the tropical low north ahead of it. With a continued moist and uncapped airmass in place, shower and thunderstorm coverage is expected to increase, especially across the eastern half of the forecast area. Drier air moving across West Central Texas will put an end to any precipitation chances for Friday and Saturday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
