The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS San Angelo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 1, 10:34 PM CST, 1 hour 53 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX 1134 PM CDT WED JUN 1 2016 .AVIATION... /06Z TAFS/ Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms continue to affect the area late tonight, with at least a VCTS/VCSH warranted at most sites for the first part of the TAF forecast. Currently, we are VFR area-wide with a return to MVFR possible for southern and eastern locations later tonight. Will keep a mention of low clouds in at KSOA/KJCT/KBBD. CIGs are expected to lift to VFR by mid to late morning across the area with scattered showers possible through the morning hours, and scattered thunderstorms possible through the afternoon and evening hours once again. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 655 PM CDT WED JUN 1 2016/ AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Scattered showers and thunderstorms across west central Texas will continue this evening, but with a weakening trend. Carrying VCTS initially at KSJT, given the latest radar trends. VFR conditions will prevail through early tonight. Low cloud development is expected overnight with MVFR ceilings. On Thursday, cloud ceilings should climb above 3000ft by late morning at most of the TAF sites. At KABI, MVFR ceilings may linger until early afternoon. The overall coverage of convection should increase during the day Thursday, as the upper low and trough move into our area from the west. Localized reductions in visibility and cloud ceilings will be possible in the heavy rain accompanying the convection. Outside of convective activity, winds will be less than 10 knots. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 329 PM CDT WED JUN 1 2016/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Thursday) Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue to develop this afternoon across portions of West Central Texas. Greatest coverage has been from the Northwest Concho Valley around Sterling City east to Robert Lee and then south towards San Angelo. Another cluster has developed near Junction. These storms don't look terribly impressive on radar, but continue to produce rainfall rates of an inch per hour or better. And since they aren't moving very fast, some locations are seeing a quick 1 to 2 inches of rainfall. Given that the clouds broke and allowed temperatures to climb into the 80s in many locations, atmosphere continues to destabilize and expect more convection to develop through the afternoon and into the evening hours. Latest HRRR also shows another cluster of showers and storms developing across the Trans Pecos and making a move east or perhaps southeast into the area later tonight. First indications are that the bulk of the rain will remain along and south of I-10, but will need to continue to monitor. Given the decent coverage of storms this afternoon and overnight, will continue the Flash Flood Watch through 12Z Thursday morning. So much of this convection is driven by mesoscale processes ahead of the main upper low that the forecast certainty in just where the convection will develop on Thursday is pretty low. Thus, will opt not to extend the watch into Thursday either, and let the next shift make a more informed decision based on the latest forecasts and radar trends. LONG TERM... (Thursday Night through next Wednesday) An eastern drifting upper low will be centered over our southeastern counties by tomorrow night. There will be a continued chance of showers and thunderstorms particularly over our eastern counties tomorrow night and into Friday with some wrap-around moisture over the remainder of the CWA. The upper low will continue to drift slowly eastward Friday night as upper level ridging builds over the forecast area from the west. The chance of precipitation will lessen from west to east through the day on Friday and into the weekend. Precipitation will be ending over the northern and western CWA by Saturday night into Sunday with dry conditions over all of the forecast area by Sunday night. Dry conditions under upper ridging will dominate the forecast area Monday through the middle of next week. Afternoon highs mostly in the 70s on Friday will warm into the mid 80s by the weekend and upper 80s to around 90 by Wednesday, with normal highs for this time of year being around 90. Morning lows will remain in the 60s. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
