NWS San Angelo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 9, 2:23 PM CST, 2 hours 12 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 323 PM CDT Sun Jul 9 2017 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Tomorrow) Scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Big Country and Heartland this afternoon will gradually dissipate this evening with the loss of daytime heating. An upper level ridge will remain centered over the Four Corners Region on Monday. Increasing subsidence aloft combined with decreasing precipitable water values will result in a dry forecast on Monday. Look for lows tonight near seasonal normals in the lower 70s. Highs on Monday will be a degree or two warmer in the afternoon...mid 90s area wide with a few upper 90s possible in the Big Country. .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through next Sunday) The subtropical ridge weakens to some extent over the southwestern states early this week and expands east across much of the southern CONUS, merging with the Bermuda High over the southeastern states. Our area will be on the southern periphery of this system through midweek, with seasonably hot and dry conditions Tuesday through Thursday. Southeast flow aloft develops over our area Wednesday and continues through Thursday. Models continue to show a weak disturbance moving northwest up the Rio Grande Valley on Thursday, and moving across the Big Bend area Thursday night before proceeding to the west. With limited moisture increase and weak lift, decided for now to leave mentionable PoPs out of our southwestern counties Thursday into Thursday night. Late in the week, the upper level high is progged to build back to the west and expand over the Great Basin, Intermountain West and Rockies with our area on its southeastern periphery. Little change in our temperatures is expected. Will need to monitor the potential for an embedded disturbance to enter our area next Sunday in northeast flow aloft. With uncertainty on existence and placement of these types of features this far out, and on cap strength and how much moisture will be available, keeping PoPs below 15 percent. .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
