Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1253 AM CDT Thu Jun 1 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Thursday) Issued at 143 PM CDT Wed May 31 2023 No significant changes from the previous forecast for the short term. Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop over the higher terrain to our west as a shortwave moves into the region in southwest flow. Although most of this convection is expected to remain west of our area, a few thunderstorms will approach the western border of our CWA, so have included some 20% chances across western parts of Crockett County. Have also kept the 20-30% chances along/north of Interstate 20 in the Big Country later tonight as convection late tonight may make it into this area as it dissipates. Otherwise, southeast winds at the surface will persist through tomorrow afternoon, with a slight uptick in speeds on Thursday. Lows tonight will be in the mid/upper 60s, and highs tomorrow will be in the mid 80s to lower 90s. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through next Tuesday) Issued at 131 PM CDT Wed May 31 2023 Showers and thunderstorms that develop across the Permian Basin and South Plains Thursday afternoon may track across the Big Country (mainly northern portions) Thursday evening. Slight chance PoPs were included for these areas Thursday evening. Expect overnight lows in the mid to upper 60s. An upper level trough will be centered across the Desert Southwest Friday morning, then approach West Central Texas Friday evening. Meanwhile, the dryline is forecast to advance east into the Permian Basin and and Trans-Pecos region by late afternoon. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop along the dryline by late afternoon. Initially supercells will be favored with one or more thunderstorm complexes developing and tracking east across the forecast area. Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible, with large hail and damaging winds being the main hazards, although a tornado is also possible. In addition, locally heavy rainfall is possible. An unsettled weather pattern will continue Saturday through Monday, with scattered, mainly diurnally driven, showers and thunderstorms each day. Again, locally heavy rainfall will be possible. Temperatures Saturday through Monday will generally remain below normals, with highs in the 80s and lows in the 80s. Late Monday, an upper level low will move ashore Southern California. Models have come into better agreement, with this low meandering across Southern California or western portions of the Desert Southwest for the middle of next week. This will keep rain chances across our area generally in the slight chance to low end chance category. Temperatures will remain below normal, with highs generally in the mid to upper 80s. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1249 AM CDT Thu Jun 1 2023 Stratus will develop once again towards daybreak and affect all terminals except KABI through mid to late morning. Should see mostly MVFR ceilings but some IFR ceilings will be possible mainly at KSOA. Ceilings will lift/scatter to VFR by 18Z.
