128 FXUS64 KSJT 111123 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 523 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Critical fire weather conditions today. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for all of West Central Texas for this afternoon. - Unseasonably warm temperatures return for the middle to latter part of the week. - Cooler temperatures and rain chances return this weekend into early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 1225 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Fire weather the primary concern for the short term, mainly for this afternoon. Surface high has shifted well east of the area and south winds will be increasing into the afternoon hours. Developing lee trough west of the area will sharpen the pressure gradient and allow wind speeds to increase into the 15 to 25 mph range, with a few gusts to 35 mph. Dry air mass remains and with temperatures climbing into the 70s across most of the area, afternoon humidity values will fall to near or below 20%. Red Flag Warning already in place and will leave it going through this afternoon. As mentioned, much warmer today with the south to southwest winds providing a little downslope as well. Highs reaching into the mid/upper 70s for the northern half of the area, and lower 70s along the I-10 corridor. Wind speeds ease up overnight but stay in the 5-10 mph at least and this will again be enough to keep overnight lows up in the 40s. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Tuesday) Issued at 1219 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Dry and unseasonably warm conditions will continue Wednesday through Friday, as upper-level high pressure builds across the area. High temperatures are expected to reach up into the mid to upper 80s, both Thursday and Friday before gradually returning to the 70s by the end of next weekend and early next week. Rain chances begin to increase on Saturday and continue into Sunday as the upper low eventually moves eastward across Colorado or New Mexico and into the Plains. Given the current uncertainty in the models, we will continue with 20 to 40 percent chance of rain over the weekend, and continue to monitor this system as it approaches closer to the region. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 521 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 VFR conditions will continue across West Central Texas terminals through Wednesday morning. South winds will increase mid morning with gusts at or above 25 knots likely through the afternoon. Wind speeds will decrease by sunrise. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
