NWS San Angelo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Oct 31, 11:41 PM CST, 19 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1241 AM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Cold front on Saturday bringing low chance for rain showers to our eastern counties. - Warmer temperatures and dry weather next week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 1239 PM CDT Fri Oct 31 2025 Weak cold front will move across West Central late tonight into Saturday, along with a quick moving shortwave dropping southeast through the area. This shortwave has enough lift with it that its going to try to squeeze out a few showers across the Heartland and Hill Country. Moisture is pretty scarce however, with the latest high res CAMs showing just some isolated activity. NBM seemed a little aggressive with POPs across San Saba and Mason, and after some discussion with FWD and EWX opted to trim those POPs back to just isolated. With south winds ahead of the approaching front, overnight lows will not be quite as cold tonight and stay mainly in the 40s. Will be a few degrees cooler on Saturday behind the front with highs in the lower 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through next Friday) Issued at 1239 PM CDT Fri Oct 31 2025 A steady warming trend is expected through next week, as upper level ridging develops across Texas early next week. Temperatures on Sunday will continue to be mild. Morning lows will be in the upper 30s to lower 40s, with daytime highs in the mid 70s. Highs Monday and Tuesday will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s, with highs Wednesday and Thursday into the mid 80s for most locations. Dry conditions are forecast through most of next week. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1241 AM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025 There is a low chance for isolated to scattered SHRA to affect KBBD and KJCT later today, but confidence in coverage is too low to introduce any mention at this time. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail through tomorrow night. Light and variable winds will become south to southeasterly around 10 knots ahead of a cold front that will move through shifting winds to the north at 10 knots with a few gusts near 20 knots from late morning through late afternoon Saturday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
