Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX
1228 PM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016

.AVIATION...
/18Z TAFS/

Low clouds and fog has dissipated for the moment, but all models
are indicating at least scattered convection to develop across
West Central Texas by mid afternoon. Best forecast right now would
have the storms south and southeast of San Angelo, with the
Sonora, Junction, and Brady terminals the most likely to be
affected. Have included a VCTS and a CB group for those 3
locations for the afternoon and evening. Once the storms actually
develop, may be able to pin down the timing a little bit better.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 633 AM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016/

AVIATION...
/12Z TAFS/

Look for moderately challenging flight conditions during the next
24 hours. Patchy fog this morning, has reduced the visibility at
the Junction terminal to five satute miles; expect this fog to
linger for a couple hours. Thunderstorms may develop today and
tonight...mainly along and southeast of a line from Ozona, to San
Angelo, to Coleman. Large hail and damaging winds are possible
with some thunderstorms.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 432 AM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016/

SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)

.Possible Thunderstorms Southeast...

Thunderstorms may develop across our southeastern counties today and
tonight. Models continue to indicate the potential for
thunderstorms...mainly along and southeast of a line from Ozona, to
San Angelo, to Coleman. The HRRR begins development across our
Northwest Hill Country counties around 2 pm CDT and then expends the
development area northwest. The Storm prediction Center has much of
this same area designated as either marginal or slight risk areas.
But, models still don't indicate very good upper support. So, the
main forcing will be thermodynamic. Given low confidence for exactly
where and when any thunderstorms may develop, will continue only
slight chance PoPs for the today and tonight periods.

LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Monday)

Wednesday afternoon, a dryline is expected to set up along the
western edge of West Central Texas from Iraan to Sterling City to
Sweetwater to Childress. Isolated thunderstorms are possible
along/east of the dryline, but there is a better chance of storms
Wednesday night, as an upper shortwave moves through the Central
Plains and a cold front approaches the Big Country toward morning.
The best potential for storms will be in the Big Country, where
the best dynamics are in place. Day 3 SPC outlook has
marginal/slight risk of storms for the I-20 and northward area.
Still, a storm could become severe anywhere, if it develops, as
the GFS model forecasts SB CAPES of 2000-4000 J/KG along and east
of a Sonora...San Angelo...Abilene...Throckmorton line.

Storm chances continue Thursday as a cold front moves through.
Again a few severe thunderstorms possible, particularly south of
the Big Country where GFS was indicating MUCAPES of 2000 to 3000
J/KG. Day 3 SPC outlook has a marginal risk of severe storms
Thursday for all of West Central Texas.

There is small lull in showers and thunderstorms Friday and
Friday night, before thunderstorms chances return Saturday into
Sunday. There are several shortwaves in zonal flow aloft along
with possible dryline interaction Sunday/Sunday night. Instability
is not a strong (CAPES were in the 1000-1500 J/KG) but can not
rule out a severe storm. While a cold front brings more stable
air Monday night and Tuesday, a few storms could develop, mainly
in eastern sections where more moisture will be available.
