Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1244 AM CDT Tue Nov 1 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 1246 PM CDT Mon Oct 31 2022 Increasing clouds are expected this afternoon with some scattered showers and thunderstorms possible around the I-10 corridor and southward from late this evening through early Tuesday morning. The main hazard associated with this system is lightning and some gusty winds under any stronger thunderstorms that are less likely to develop. Otherwise, expect a cool start to the morning with early morning lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s, and highs near normal in the low to mid 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through next Sunday) Issued at 116 PM CDT Mon Oct 31 2022 Slightly above normal temperatures are forecast on Wednesday, with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Overnight lows will be in the lower 60s. Highs on Thursday will be a few degrees warmer, in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Late Thursday, an upper level low is forecast to be centered across Arizona, with this feature tracking toward New Mexico late Friday, then across the Texas Panhandle on Saturday. As this feature approaches, Friday into Friday night, large scale ascent will result in the development of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly across our eastern counties on Friday. The better rain chances are expected Friday night into Saturday morning, as a Pacific cold front moves through the region. Differences in timing and track of the aforementioned low continue, but the front is forecast to move through the region late Friday into Saturday, with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developing along the front as it tracks across the forecast area. PoPs were bumped up a bit for this time frame, into the high end chance to likely category. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, but the details on this possibility should become more clear over the next couple of days. High temperatures on Friday will be in the mid 70s to near 80. Cooler temperatures are forecast behind the front on Saturday, with highs in the mid 60s to near 70 degrees and overnight lows in the 40s. Warmer temperatures are forecast on Sunday with highs in the mid 70s to near 80 degrees. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1244 AM CDT Tue Nov 1 2022 Showers and occasional thunderstorms will end by daybreak along and near the I-10 corridor this morning.
