957 FXUS64 KSJT 142351 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 651 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Increased chances of showers and thunderstorms, from north to south this afternoon through tonight. Some possibility for excessive rainfall and flooding. - Cooler temperatures first part of next week (Sunday into Tuesday), with hotter temperatures returning Wednesday and Thursday. - Temperatures or heat index values may reach or exceed 105 degrees Wednesday and Thursday. A Heat Advisory is possible for portions of the area. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday) Issued at 207 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 Early this afternoon a cold front has moved through most of the Big Country and is moving south into the Concho Valley and Heartland. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are occurring ahead of the front. Expect an increase in this activity as the front continues to slowly progress south. The main concern will be locally heavy rainfall as precipitable water (PWAT) values this afternoon are in the 1.5 to 2 inch range and are forecast to increase to 2 inches or higher across much of the southern half of the area tonight into Monday morning. This activity will likely be slow moving so heavy rainfall will likely result in flooding, especially across low-lying areas and roads. Given these factors, have issued a Flood Watch for southern portions of the area from this afternoon through Monday evening. This is one of those setups where not everyone in the watch will see locally heavy rainfall and flooding, but given the high PWAT values and slow moving storms, we do expect locations within the watch to see high rain amounts. The highest flooding threat will likely be closer to I-10, but the potential is there farther north, so have included the Concho Valley in the watch as well. Medium to high rain (40-80%) rain chances are forecast overnight, with the highest rain chances across the southern half of the area. The front is forecast to then stall just south of the area on Monday. Additional isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible behind the front on Monday. Again, the highest rain chances are across the southern half of the area and locally heavy rainfall will be possible. Much cooler temperatures are forecast on Monday with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. Rain chances will quickly end by late Monday. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 60s. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Sunday) Issued at 207 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 Highs on Tuesday will be back to near seasonal normals, in the upper 80s to lower 90s. An upper level ridge across northern Mexico and the Desert Southwest will result in a return of above temperatures Wednesday and Thursday. As mentioned yesterday, an upper level low will be centered across South Texas Tuesday. This feature will then track northeast toward Southeast Texas Wednesday into Thursday. The lower heights associated with this feature will result in temperatures that are less hot than originally forecast. Temperatures on Wednesday will still be hot, especially across our western counties where highs will be between 100 and 104. Mid to upper 90s are forecast elsewhere. A bit more uncertainty arises on Thursday. The GFS has consistently been indicating a cold front moving through the area late in the day Thursday. This results in compressional heating ahead of the front with highs exceeding 100 degrees, especially across the southern half of the area. The ECMWF is much weaker with any front and indicates a slower solution with the upper level low. The current forecast shows highs in the mid 90s to near 102, but these may need to be nudged a bit if the GFS solution begins to look more likely. The next concern is rain chances late Thursday into Saturday. The GFS continues to be more aggressive with any showers and thunderstorms across the area during this time frame, versus the drier ECMWF. The GFS develops a weak low pressure across the area and this in combination with the weak front in the region, results in shower and thunderstorm activity. For now, PoPs were kept in the low to medium (20-40%) range, but these are likely to change. Highs on Friday will less hot, generally in the low to mid 90s. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 638 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 A weak cold front, currently passing through KSJT will drift slowly south and exit the I-10 corridor by late evening. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected primarily south of I-20 this and evening, then mainly across the far southern terminals overnight. Stratus will develop by late this evening and overnight, with ceilings initially MVFR but lowering to IFR during the pre-dawn hours. Some reduction to visibility is also expected but should remain in the 3-5SM range. Ceilings are expected to lift to MVFR again by late morning/early afternoon and persist through the afternoon hours. winds will remain light northeasterly through the forecast period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
