Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 611 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2019 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Scattered thunderstorms have developed across the South Plains and portions of the Permian Basin which may affect the KABI terminal between 00z and 03z. Patchy stratus may develop around 12Z at KJCT and KBBD, briefly resulting in MVFR ceilings. Light south winds overnight will increase to 10 to 15 knots by late morning Sunday. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 249 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2019/ SHORT TERM... ..Possible Severe Thunderstorms... The potential for severe thunderstorms highlights the short term forecast. A weak cold, currently extending west to east, across the north Texas panhandle, will likely initiate thunderstorms this afternoon. Thunderstorms may then move over our Big Country counties late this afternoon and this evening. In the Day 1 Outlook, the Storm Prediction Center has included many of our counties in a Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms area, mainly northwest and north of a line from Sonora, to Ballinger, to Brownwood. Plus, our counties, mainly along and north of a line from Snyder, to Abilene, to Moran are in a Slight Risk area. The main threats are large hail, damaging winds, and deadly lightning. The tornado threat is not as high as these other threats. Short term models indicate the best timing for thunderstorms is from around 7 PM CDT this evening, until around midnight. LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Saturday) We will be seeing a more active weather pattern next week, as the month of May approaches. Monday night, a cold front will be in place just north of the Big Country with a dryline in the eastern Permian Basin. A strong shortwave moving through the Panhandle and Northwest Texas in the evening will provide lift. Given good moisture and instability, some storms could become severe with the Big Country having the best potential. SPC has a slight risk for severe thunderstorms Monday...from Big Lake to San Angelo to Cross Plains and northward, with a marginal risk across the rest of West Central Texas. For Tuesday into Wednesday, a dryline out west along with embedded weak shortwaves in zonal flow aloft, will allow the continued development of showers and thunderstorms. A few storms are also possible Thursday as a cold front moves through. With no shortage of moisture and instability, there could be a severe thunderstorm through the week, even after the cold front Friday and Saturday, as dew points remain in the 60s. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
