976 FXUS64 KSJT 101803 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 103 PM CDT Sun Aug 10 2025 ...New SHORT TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... - Not as hot this week with a chance of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms Monday through Wednesday. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday) Issued at 103 PM CDT Sun Aug 10 2025 Another hot day across the area with temperatures in the 90s to around 100. Highs will be above 100 across mainly the Big Country and northwest Concho Valley this afternoon. Please follow heat safety precautions. Expect temperatures a be cooler Monday due to the upper level ridge weakening. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s. The CAM guidance is indicating a few thunderstorms possible across the northern and western Big Country late Monday afternoon. Otherwise, going with a dry forecast for the next 24 hours. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Sunday) Issued at 1251 PM CDT Sun Aug 10 2025 An upper level shortwave trough will push across North Texas Monday night through Tuesday. The lift from the short-wave will combine with increasing moisture (precipitable water increasing to around 1.6 to 1.8 inches during the day Tuesday) and instability to bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Big Country Monday evening, and then scattered to numerous showers and storms across West Central Texas Tuesday afternoon. A weakness aloft and increased moisture will continue on Wednesday and Thursday, which will continue the potential for isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms on both those days. It looks like upper level ridging will gradually increase over the region Friday through the weekend, which would decrease the chances for afternoon showers/storms due to increased subsidence (downward motion). Meanwhile, expect it to not be as hot Tuesday due to weakening of the 850 mb thermal ridge and increased cloud cover, with highs Tuesday in the low 90s. Should start to see a warming trend starting Wednesday and continuing for the most part through next Sunday, with highs reaching back into the mid to upper 90s by Thursday and perhaps touching 100 in some locations during the weekend. Meanwhile, lows will continue to be mild (upper 60s to low 70s) as south to southeasterly low level flow will continue to keep conditions humid during the overnight hours. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1144 AM CDT Sun Aug 10 2025 Expect VFR conditions for the next 24 hours. The winds will be from the south to southeast with gusts to 20 knots at mainly the KABI terminal this afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
