Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX 1155 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2016 .AVIATION... /06Z TAFS/ Most thunderstorms have ended this evening. However, a weak upper low remains just to the west of SJT area, with rain continuing to the south and southwest. Expect to see continued light showers overnight across southern and eastern TAF locations. Have kept thunder out for the overnight hours, but will continue to monitor in case convection strengthens overnight with the low level jet. will also see mvfr ceilings developing again toward morning mainly JCT and SOA airports, with scattered low clouds elsewhere. Winds variable in direction from time to time due to multiple outflow boundaries around, but generally southeast at less than 10 kt. 08 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 629 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2016/ AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Main concern this TAF package is the possibility of thunderstorms for SOA, SJT and JCT TAF locations through this evening. Thunderstorms still ongoing to the west and south of SJT associated with weak upper low over thew area. One outflow boundary is racing east to SJT, with continued thunderstorm development for at least the next few hours, if not longer. Winds will be gusty and variable at times for the next several hours from outflow. Will also see scattered low clouds by morning for the southern half of the area, with brief MVFR ceilings possible for JCT, BBD and SOA. 08 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 342 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2016/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Monday) A weak upper low over the Permian Basin west of Sterling and Irion Counties should begin to drift to the south overnight and Monday, and should be over or just north of the Big Bend region by Monday evening. This to occur as the upper level high over the Four Corners region strengthens somewhat. Scattered showers and thunderstorms with locally heavy rain this afternoon will decrease in coverage this evening. We are carrying 20-40 PoPs tonight with the higher rain chance across our western counties, in closer proximity to the weak upper low. Rain chances will be lower on Monday with a decrease in lower to mid level moisture, but a slight chance for showers/thunderstorms remains across the area generally west of an Abilene to Sonora line. With decreased cloud cover in the afternoon, temperatures on Monday should reach highs in the lower to mid 90s across all of west central Texas. LONG TERM... (Monday Night through Sunday) Models indicate that whatever is left of the TUTT low across the area this afternoon will be drifting back to the southwest by Monday Night, as the upper level ridge centered over Utah strengthens. Weak shortwave will be riding this periphery of this ridge, producing an area of convection across Kansas and Oklahoma that will ride south into Texas late Monday Night into Tuesday. Models continue to go back and forth with the strength of the ridge axis and whether it will be strong enough to keep the convection farther east or allow it to drop into West Central Texas. At this point, will remain closer to the wetter solution, with best chances across the Heartland and eastern Big Country. For the remainder of the week, the upper level high pressure ridge axis settles into the area. This may leave the northern Big Country along the edge of the storm track as shortwaves rotate around the edge. Will keep the PoPs in place as far south as I-20 for Friday with the strongest wave, but keep in confined to Haskell and Throckmorton counties the remainder of the time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
