Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX 700 PM CDT Wed Nov 2 2016 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ A cold front will move slowly south across the terminals overnight. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop along and behind the front, along with ceilings lowering into the MVFR/IFR range. Included some IFR ceilings at KABI and KSJT Thursday morning behind the front but kept southern terminals MVFR at this time. Visibilities should remain in the MVFR range. Expect scattered showers and a few thunderstorms to continue on Thursday across all terminals, with primarily MVFR ceilings prevailing by afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 328 PM CDT Wed Nov 2 2016/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Thursday) Currently, there is a large upper level low centered near the southern AZ border with strong southwest flow ahead of it from west Texas into the central plains, with embedded shortwave disturbances. At the surface, a cold front is located from eastern NM, northeast into the TX panhandle. Showers and thunderstorms are affecting areas ahead of, and behind the front, with the stronger storms in the warm sector south of the front east and northeast of Lubbock. The upper level low in the AZ area will move very little over the next 24 hours. As the cold front makes slow progress southward tonight, scattered showers and thunderstorms along the boundary will develop. The area with the best chances for precipitation tonight will be along and northwest of a Barnhart, to Cross Plains line. Instability (surface based CAPE as high as 3000 J/kg, ML CAPE as high as 2500 J/kg) is readily available in our area for thunderstorms to develop. However, the better shear and forcing for ascent is currently off to the northwest of our CWA. So, while we do expect to see some strong thunderstorms in our area, capable of producing gusty winds and small hail, we expect the overwhelming majority of these to be sub-severe. As the front continues farther south on Thursday, additional shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to develop, mainly affecting areas south of Interstate 20. Again, while thunderstorms will be possible, severe weather is not expected to be a major concern. The main concern other than gusty winds, hail, and lightning will be locally heavy rainfall. Precipitable water values of 1 to 1.5 inches or more will be readily available for these showers and thunderstorms. And due to the slow movement of the boundary, and potentially slow movement of individual storms, some areas could see heavy rainfall from later tonight through tomorrow, possibly resulting in localized flash flooding. Temperatures will be cooler on Thursday behind the front. LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Wednesday) A large upper level low will be located over the northern Mexican state of Sonora, with a weak front in the vicinity of West Central Texas. At this point, the best chance of showers and thunderstorms looks to remain west of the forecast area, although uncertainty remains on exactly where the heaviest rainfall will occur. For now the highest PoPs Thursday night into Friday will be across our western counties, decreasing as you head east. The main concern at this point looks to be locally heavy rainfall. The expected cloud cover/precipitation will also help to keep high temperatures cooler than what we have seen over the last several days, in the low to mid 70s. Friday night into this weekend, the aforementioned upper level low/trough will swing across the Southern Plains, bringing another increased chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly Saturday night into Sunday. Highs will mainly be in the 70s, with overnight lows in the 50s. Model differences arise with the handling of the next upper level low which is forecast to develop during the first part of next week, somewhere across North or West Texas. For now, PoPs were mainly kept in the slight chance to low end chance range, but these may eventually need be increased, depending on the eventual track of the low. High temperatures for the first part of next week will mainly be in the 70s with overnight lows in the 50s. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
