358 FXUS64 KSJT 011736 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1236 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 300 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 MCS rolling across the Big Country early this morning and will likely be clearing the eastern portions of the area before sunrise. So far it has pretty much stayed below severe levels and it is likely to stay this way. Outflow from the storms have surged south well ahead of the storms and into the Concho Valley and Heartland with gusts over 40 mph hear at the San Angelo airport. Given the fast movement, this outflow appears like it will continue to push south and out of the area later this morning, removing 1 focus for convective redevelopment this afternoon. Latest CAMs do not show a lot of development for the afternoon across West Central Texas, with just a little across the Permian Basin and Trans Pecos late this afternoon working its way east into the Concho Valley and Northern Edwards Plateau for the evening. Given the air mass, will keep some small POPs in for the afternoon hours with a little better chances for the western portions of the area for tonight. Temperatures are pretty close to normal, with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s this afternoon. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Friday) Issued at 300 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 HRRR does show another outflow settling south into West Central Texas for Sunday, with better chance for more convection Sunday afternoon. Other CAMs are not as aggressive. Will generally carry slight chance to chance POPs for Sunday and later forecasts can fine tune based on whatever boundaries that get spawned today and where they end up tomorrow. Otherwise, upper level ridge gradually builds into the area for early in the week and this allows temperatures to soar to near or above the 100 degree mark through mid week. Tuesday still looks to be the hottest day with highs 102 to 106 in some areas. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1235 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Mainly VFR conditions across the area early this afternoon, with only KSOA still hovering at higher end MVFR. All sites will be VFR within the next few hours, with VFR conditions prevailing through the overnight hours. Expect to see MVFR ceilings move back into the area by around 12Z Sunday morning at KJCT and KSOA. Although some ISO to SCT TSRA will approach the area later tonight, confidence is not high enough in placement or coverage to introduce a mention at this time. Otherwise, east to southeast winds around 10 knots at most sites through tomorrow morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
