Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 228 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 ...New LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 155 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 A mesoscale boundary was located across the Big Country this afternoon and producing a few showers and thunderstorms near the I- 20 corridor. This activity should diminish after sunset tonight. Late tonight the boundary should move slowly slowly southward through tomorrow. Southeast winds overnight should also help to raise dewpoints into the upper 60s, especially across the Concho Valley, so conditions will be a little muggy to start the day. Meanwhile, an upper-level shortwave rotating around the larger predominant ridge will move into west central Texas through the day. By the afternoon, substantial heating coupled with convergence along the surface boundary, should help to initiate some showers and thunderstorms. These look to be focused over the Concho Valley, although this will be heavily dependent on where the surface boundary ends up. For now, the best chances of rain will be possible from anywhere between the I-20 to I-10 corridors. And, with any luck, the rain chances and more clouds may hold high temperatures below 100 tomorrow afternoon. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through next Monday) Issued at 157 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 Upper level shortwave in Eastern Oklahoma will move southeast into Southcentral Texas Thursday. This will move the highest rain chances along the I-10 corridor and Northwest Hill Country, with only 20-30 percent chances remaining along and north of I-20. On Thursday night, the shortwave and rain chances move deeper into South Texas, with isolated showers and thunderstorm south of Interstate 10. Friday night and Saturday, another weak shortwave will move west across South Texas, bringing a 20-40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly for the I-10 corridor and NW Hill Country. Clouds and isolated to scattered showers will bring down temperatures In the mid and upper 90s Thursday into Saturday, though temperatures rise back to 100 Sunday or Monday, as the upper trough passes through, and upper level high pressure builds back in. Low temperatures will be in the 70s. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1221 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 Generally VFR and light east-southeast winds this afternoon, turning south tomorrow morning. A few storms are possible around Abilene and Sweetwater this afternoon, which may produce brief gusty winds at times. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
