971 FXUS64 KSJT 141704 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1104 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Record or near record high temperatures through Sunday. - Rain chances (30%-60%) return for the middle of next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 102 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Upper-level ridging will persist across West Central Texas through this weekend, keeping above normal temperatures and dry conditions in the forecast. High temperatures today will be 15 to 20 degree above seasonal normals, ranging in the mid to upper 80s. The record high for Abilene today is 84, and 88 for San Angelo, which both have a chance of being broken today. Overnight lows tonight into Saturday morning are expected to fall into the low 50s to low 60s. Stratus is again possible early this moring across our southern counties, with mostly clear skies returning by mid to late morning. Some patchy fog is also possible, mainly across our southeast counties. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 1240 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Upper level ridging will remain firmly in control over Texas through the weekend. This will result in well above normal temperatures on both Saturday and Sunday. Record highs are likely to be tied or broken at both Abilene and San Angelo. An upper level trough will emerge from the Rockies into the central Plains on Monday. Our area will remain under westerly zonal flow aloft keeping warm and dry conditions in place for the beginning of the week. A second potentially more potent low pressure system is forecast to dig into the southwestern U.S. in the Wednesday/Thursday time frame. This would put west central Texas in southwest flow aloft with abundant Pacific moisture streaming into the region. There remains considerable uncertainty in the eventual strength and track of this system as it ejects eastward. Nevertheless, ensemble members continue to paint a potentially wet scenario for the middle to latter part of next week. Will continue to stick with the model blend showing widespread 30-50 PoPs for next week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1021 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 VFR conditions have returned to all sites late this morning. Stratus is again expected to develop after 10Z at the southern sites and then approach KSJT by 12Z. This will result in MVFR ceilings initially, with IFR conditions developing at KSOA and KJCT around 12Z. Expect VFR conditions to return by mid to late morning. Gusty south winds will decrease to 10 knots or less this evening, then increase to 10 to 15 knots by late morning Saturday. Winds overnight at KABI are expected to generally remain between 10 and 15 knots. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
