Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 2:09 PM CST, 1 hour 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 309 PM CDT Wed Jun 2 2021 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Thursday) Issued at 237 PM CDT Wed Jun 2 2021 An upper trough remains over Texas, and little change in the pattern is expected through Thursday. The outflow boundary (from the MCS this morning over the Big Country) has stalled across the central part of our area, and at mid-afternoon extended from Sterling City to San Angelo to San Saba. Thunderstorms have developed along/just north of this boundary in Sterling County and just east of San Saba County. MLCAPE values in excess of 2000 J/kg and modest shear are supportive of some strong to severe storms. Expect additional scattered storm development through the afternoon. A recently issued Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for most of the central and southern parts of our area until 9 PM CDT. With a moist environment, heavy rainfall and localized flooding are possible where the storms occur. Indications from some of the hi-res models are for a complex of showers and thunderstorms to evolve over West Texas, and to move east/southeast across our area after 11 PM and through the overnight hours. The area most likely to be affected is south of I-20 across our central and southern counties. Strong, gusty winds will be possible along the leading edge of the overnight thunderstorm complex, along with marginally severe hail. Heavy rain accompanying the convection could cause some flooding, especially in areas which have received heavy rainfall during the past several days. On Thursday, scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible, especially during the afternoon and evening. Lows tonight will be in the lower to mid 60s, with highs on Thursday in the upper 70s to lower 80s. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 237 PM CDT Wed Jun 2 2021 Friday into the weekend, a weak upper low is progged to develop over the southern part of our area into central Texas. With low-level moisture remaining over the area, will have a continuation of partly to mostly cloudy skies, and a possibility for mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. The higher rain chances look to be in the southeastern part of our area. Little change in temperatures is indicated with highs expected to be in the upper 70s to lower 80s again Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, the low is progged to open into a trough, with the trough axis shifting over East Texas. May also have a disturbance move over our area Sunday night in northwest flow aloft. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible, for mainly the eastern half of our area Sunday and Monday. A slow warming trend will begin early next week and continue during the week. An upper ridge is progged to be over New Mexico and Colorado, with north-northwest flow aloft over our area. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1229 PM CDT Wed Jun 2 2021 VFR conditions prevail across the terminals early this afternoon. As of 12 noon, a prominent outflow boundary extends from just north of KBBD, to the KSJT terminal. Convection is expected to develop along this boundary this afternoon, with additional development farther south possible. Will include a TEMPO group for TS at KSJT after 20Z, and VCTS across the remaining southern terminals through early evening. Another round of convection may move in from the northwest late this evening and overnight. For now, will only include VCTS across the terminals due to timing/coverage uncertainties. Winds will remain light the next 24 hours, outside of any thunderstorm activity. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
