Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service San Angelo TX 644 PM CDT Sun Jun 9 2019 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ Scattered thunderstorms over the southern part of our area, ahead of an incoming cold front, could affect KSOA and KJCT this evening. A conditional possibility remains for strong, gusty winds and hail where the storms occur. Visibility and ceiling reductions are also possible in the locally heavy rain accompanying the storms. The cold front will move south of our area early tonight, and gusty north winds are expected across our area through the night. Low cloud development, initially over the northern part of our area, will expand to the south tonight. Carrying MVFR ceilings at our TAF sites, primarily during the overnight hours. Isolated to scattered showers and elevated thunderstorms are possible overnight. On Monday, low cloud cover is expected to persist, and isolated to scattered showers will be possible. Indications are for ceilings to climb above 3000 ft by late morning at KABI, and during the afternoon at our southern terminals. Somewhat gusty north winds in the early to mid morning will decrease by afternoon. 19 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 256 PM CDT Sun Jun 9 2019/ SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Monday) As of 2 PM, the cold front was moving south across the Big Country, with Abilene now reporting north winds. KSJT radar shows the leading edge of the wind shift now entering northwest Tome Green county. The front is expected to move through San Angelo by 3PM and across the I-10 corridor between 5PM and 6PM. The airmass south of the front is extremely unstable, with MLCAPE around 4000 J/kg. Hi-res models continue to develop convection along and just south of the front from near Brady, to just south of San Angelo to Ozona by 4PM. Storms that develop will likely become severe, with large hail and damaging winds possible. By early evening, storms are expected to organize into clusters or a broken line, with the primarily threat transitioning to damaging winds across southern and southeast portions of the forecast area where inverted V sounding profiles are supportive of microburst winds. In addition, PW (Precipitable Water) values are just shy of 2 inches (1.80), which will contribute to very efficient rainfall rates and the potential for flash flooding. For tonight, the severe threat will end across southern sections by mid evening but post frontal showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible overnight into Monday, so will keep chance to likely POPs intact, with highest rain chances across the southern half of the forecast area. Gusty north winds will develop behind the front this evening into early Friday but subside during the day on Monday. Extensive low clouds are expected to develop this evening and likely persist for much of the day tomorrow. Temperatures will be well below normal on Monday, with highs only in the upper 60s and lower 70s. 24 LONG TERM... (Monday Night through Sunday) Models, in particular the NAM, are indicating a weak shortwave trough tracking across West Central Texas Tuesday night, resulting in scattered showers and thunderstorms. Bumped up PoPs a bit for this time frame, with most locations in the chance category. Overnight lows will be below seasonal normals, in the upper 50s to lower 60s. A few lingering showers are possible on Tuesday, especially across the southern half of the area, although most locations will remain dry. Highs on Tuesday will continue to be below seasonal normals, in the mid 70s to lower 80s. Tuesday night through the end of the work week, an upper level ridge will remain centered across Baja California, putting West Central Texas in northwest flow aloft. Intermittent disturbance will result in shower and thunderstorm development across the Panhandle/South Plains with some of this activity making it into our forecast area, especially the Big Country. Although hard to pinpoint, the first disturbance looks to move across the South Plains Tuesday night into Wednesday morning along with a weak cold front. Bumped up PoPs into the chance category for parts of the Big Country, with PoPs decreasing as you head south. Models indicate the next disturbance in the northwest flow aloft tracking across the region Thursday night into Friday morning. Temperatures will slowly increase Wednesday through Friday, with highs getting back into the 90s for most locations by Friday. Daniels && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
