222 FXUS64 KSJT 070520 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1220 AM CDT Wed May 7 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Low precipitation chances in the forecast again Wednesday night into early Thursday, then dry through the upcoming weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 215 PM CDT Tue May 6 2025 Much quieter weather pattern in the short term in the wake of last night`s severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. Skies early this afternoon have cleared across most of the area except in the Big Country where low clouds have hung on. Temperatures have warmed into the 70s and 80s where the sun has come out while temperatures are still in the 60s under the cloud cover. Otherwise, dry conditions will prevail tonight and into tomorrow. Models indicate low clouds and/or fog developing overnight in the Big Country in moist east/northeast flow. Any clouds and fog should burn off by the early afternoon. Expect highs in the 70s and 80s with sunshine in the afternoon. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through next Tuesday) Issued at 122 PM CDT Tue May 6 2025 Expect generally below normal temperatures to continue Thursday into the weekend. An upper level trough will be located from the Midwest to Oklahoma on Thursday. This feature will dive south, with an upper level low developing across east Texas/Louisiana. This will keep temperatures across West Central Texas near to below normal through the weekend. Highs will generally be in the mid 70s to lower 80s, with overnight lows in the 50s. A weak disturbance is forecast to track across the Big Bend region on Thursday, then across Central Texas late Thursday into early Friday. This will bring a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms to mainly the southern half of the area. There remains some uncertainty on the exact track of this feature, but at this time coverage of showers and thunderstorms looks to be fairly isolated. Otherwise, expect dry conditions through much of the extended forecast. Upper level ridging will begin to build back into the area early next week, resulting in above normal temperatures. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1219 AM CDT Wed May 7 2025 Expect a few hours of VFR conditions during the early morning. Expect IFR ceilings to move into the KABI terminal by 08Z and remain through much of Wednesday morning. A few hours of IFR conditions are possible at the KBBD terminal this morning. Expect VFR to return to all terminals Wednesday afternoon and evening. The winds will be light. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
