958 FXUS64 KSJT 281714 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1214 PM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 432 AM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024 Many of the CAMs were correct regarding the development of a line of thunderstorms across the region this morning. The remainder of the depicted activity is still located across areas near San Saba, Mason, and Brownwood as of 4:30 AM CDT. Lightning, small hail, and wind gusts to 40 MPH are all possible with this activity. We expect this activity will largely be out of our area by 7 AM CDT. Afterwards, skies should clear for the afternoon allowing temperatures to climb into the lower to middle 80s. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Saturday) Issued at 432 AM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024 After the aforementioned activity moves out to the east, a break in the active weather pattern will ensue. Zonal flow will develop aloft following the departure of the low pressure. We will generally see a gradual warm up into the lower 90s through Tuesday. A series of minor disturbances aloft may yield enough support for a few thunderstorms for the middle part of next week. Otherwise, both the GFS and ECMWF depict the same forecast for the most part giving a fair amount of confidence in this forecast. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1113 AM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024 Expect VFR conditions to prevail through the next 24 hours. Patchy stratus is possible around 11Z at KJCT, but confidence remains low, so VFR conditions were continued at this time. Expect winds to generally remain below 10 knots through the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
