075 FXUS64 KSJT 161953 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 153 PM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 ...New SHORT TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... - Record or near record high temperatures through Tuesday. - Rain chances increase Wednesday, peaking Thursday, before decreasing Friday. There`s a marginal to slight risk for excessive rainfall and flooding. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday) Issued at 145 PM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 High pressure overhead will result in continued hot and dry conditions for the remainder of today and tomorrow. In fact, as of 1:50 PM CST, San Angelo hit 88 degrees so far. This is hotter than the record high of 87 for San Angelo (Mathis Field). Therefore, we have seen record breaking heat this afternoon already. A weak cold front has stalled across portions of the Big Country, which will keep temperatures a touch cooler across those areas. Otherwise, another hot day is forecast for tomorrow with highs in the middle to upper 80s. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Sunday) Issued at 100 PM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 Rain chances are still looking good for the middle of next week. The upper level trough will sit over Baja California on Wednesday, progressing towards our area on Thursday. Ahead of the trough, we`ll see large scale lift and increasing moisture throughout the column. At the surface a cold front will move through Thursday into Friday. Areas ahead and along the front will have the best chance for precipitation, as moisture will be much higher. Rain chances will begin early Wednesday, peak early Thursday, and decrease by early Friday. Heavy rainfall and flooding are concerns with this system. PWAT values will be very high for this time of the year, sitting around the 99th percentile for late Wednesday and Thursday. Most likely rain amounts (25th to 75th percentile) are generally around half an inch to 3 inches across the area. Models are hinting at the potential for pockets of 4 to 5 inches, but the exact location of the heaviest rainfall is still very uncertain. We`ll get a better idea of rainfall amounts and locations once we get close enough for the high res models. We`ll also need to keep an eye on the potential for a few strong to severe storms with this activity. Looking at temperatures, the very above normal highs will continue for Tuesday and Wednesday. However, highs should remain a few degrees shy of the records. Temperatures will be much closer to normal for Thursday through the weekend as a surface high builds into the area behind the front. && .AVIATION...
