409 FXUS64 KSJT 071048 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 548 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - A few showers and thunderstorms are possible today in the southern part of our area. - Hot and mostly dry conditions expected Tuesday into the weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 1226 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026 Expect mainly hot and dry conditions today across the area as a strong upper level ridge remains just to our north. However, isolated showers and a few thunderstorms are possible across the Northwest Hill Country this afternoon. Highs will be in the mid 90s to around 102 across the Big Country. Please follow heat safety precautions including drinking water. Expect warm and humid conditions tonight with lows in the upper 60s and 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 1226 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026 On Tuesday, an upper level ridge will be centered across the Southern Plains. This will result in hot and dry conditions across the area. Highs will be in the mid 90s to near 102 with overnight lows in the 70s to near 80. As we head into Wednesday, an upper level ridge will become centered across the Southwest United States, with another upper level ridge centered across the Southeast United States. Thursday into the weekend, the Southeast U.S. ridge will weaken while the ridge to our west strengthens. This will result in a continuation of the hot and generally dry conditions. The one caveat is that both the GFS and ECMWF are indicating a cold front into Oklahoma and north Texas late Wednesday into Thursday. If this front can track a bit farther south, this could bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms to the area, especially across our northern counties. For now, have kept rain chances between 15 and 20 percent across the Big Country as confidence remains low. Above normal temperatures will continue through this time frame with highs in the mid 90s to near 104 and overnight lows in the 70s. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 547 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026 Expect VFR conditions for the next 24 hours. The winds will be from the south mainly less than 10 knots. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
