Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 347 PM CDT Thu Jun 8 2017 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Friday) All models show some type of convective complex developing late this afternoon and early this evening across the South Plains, and then moving southeast into West Central Texas after midnight. The models differ however, on the track of the system and thus where the rain end up. The GFS is farther east, moving across portions of the northern and eastern Big Country and into North Central Texas. The latest WRF from Texas Tech show a complex farther west, with the brunt of it dropping south across the western Big Country into the Concho Valley by morning. The HRRR has something in the middle, with a broader complex of storms that covers a wider area. At this point, will increase PoP's slightly for tonight and tomorrow morning over an area mainly north of a San Angelo to Brownwood line. Given the chance that this system will be strong enough to leave some sort of outflow boundary across the area, will include a mention of isolated storms for tomorrow afternoon all the way south to Interstate 10 as well. Temperatures will not be changing very much, so lows in the upper 60s and lower 70s, with highs in the mid and upper 90s look good. .LONG TERM... (Friday Night through next Thursday) For this weekend, a weak closed low is forecast to develop near the Texas/Louisiana border and then drift south- southwest to just east of Brownsville by Sunday. Weak upper ridging will be in place to the north of this low over the southern Plains. This pattern is expected to result in minimal rain chances for our area during the weekend. While little change is expected with our high temperatures, expect an uptick in overnight lows as dewpoints increase with south-southeast low-level flow. Breezy conditions are expected with lee surface trough to our west and increased pressure gradient across our area. Early next week, an upper low over the western CONUS will lift northeast across the northern Rockies by Tuesday, and into the northern Plains late Tuesday night into Wednesday. An upper level high will be centered over Mexico, with an extension into southwestern Texas. This will be our dominant weather feature through the first half of the week. Afternon highs are forecast to be in the lower to mid 90s, with overnight lows mostly in the lower 70s. By late week, quasi-zonal flow aloft is progged to the north of the aforementioned high, with the possibility of a couple of embedded disturbances moving east across the southern Rockies into the southern Plains. This may increase rain chances for the northern part of our area by Thursday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
