NWS San Angelo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 31, 11:07 PM CST, 53 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1207 AM CDT Fri Aug 1 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Showers and thunderstorms are possible across much of West Central Texas this afternoon and evening, mainly south of I-20. - Warmer conditions expected to return for next week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Friday) Issued at 146 PM CDT Thu Jul 31 2025 As of early this afternoon, the front is moving south through the Big Country, turning winds to the north. The front is expected to stall over the area for today and tomorrow. We could see a few isolated showers and thunderstorms late this afternoon and evening behind the front, with some activity lingering overnight. The HRRR is being particularly aggressive with overnight convection in the Big Country tonight, but the other models show much less coverage. This is something we're going to have to keep an eye on. Some of the CAMs are showing morning convection in the Big Country and afternoon/evening convection further south in the Concho Valley, Heartland, I-10 corridor area for tomorrow. Exact locations of the isolated to scattered storms tomorrow is uncertain, but we are expecting at least a few storms in the area. Precipitable Water values look to exceed 1.5 inches tomorrow afternoon, so any storm that develops could quickly drop around 1 to 3 inches before weakening. Heavy rainfall will have the potential to lead to localized flash flooding. The WPC has us under a marginal risk for excessive rainfall tomorrow. && .LONG TERM... (Friday night through next Thursday) Issued at 1241 PM CDT Thu Jul 31 2025 There may be a few scattered showers and thunderstorms across mainly eastern areas during the evening hours Friday, but these should end before Midnight. On Saturday, a with weak outflow boundaries in the area, there will continue to be isolated to scattered shower and thunderstorm chances, but mainly southeast of an Abilene to Ozona line. These precipitation chances, along with increased cloud cover could save our area from hitting triple digits on a widespread basis, with highs mainly in the upper 90s for Saturday. However, a few readings of 100 aren't out of the question. Sunday afternoon into the evening hours, a shortwave trough is expected to move southeast through the southern plains with the western fringe of this feature potentially aiding in scattered thunderstorms for areas north and east of a Sweetwater to San Saba line. Temperatures will begin warming Sunday, with highs in the upper 90s to around 102 degrees. From Monday through most of next week, a summer-like pattern is expected to set up, with a strong upper level ridge centered mainly in New Mexico and Arizona through next Friday. With that, we will see temperatures continue to be warm, (highs in the upper 90s to near 105), lows mainly in the 70s, and a mainly dry forecast. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1055 PM CDT Thu Jul 31 2025 Expect VFR conditions to generally prevail through the next 24 hours. A weak cold front will stall across the area today. Winds will remain light from the north behind the front and light from the south ahead of the front. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and early evening. Any thunderstorms may result in reduced visibilities due to heavy rainfall along with gusty winds. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
