720 FXUS64 KSJT 191722 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1222 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 311 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024 No significant changes from the previous forecast for today and tonight. We`re still expecting to be dry, breezy, and very hot, with temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above normal. Highs should again range from the mid 90s to around 103 degrees. Winds will pick up out of the south to 15 to 20 mph, with higher gusts by mid to late morning. The warm weather will continue through tonight with lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Saturday) Issued at 432 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024 Both the GFS and ECMWF indicate hot and dry weather will result from a high pressure ridge that sits over our area through Tuesday. Then, a frontal boundary will affect the area on Wednesday afternoon, which will limit high temperatures across the Big Country to the middle 80s. This frontal boundary will combine with a dryline off to the west to support thunderstorm development during the afternoon, evening, and overnight hours. Additional activity is possible across the region on Thursday along the dryline as a minor disturbance aloft also moves through. All of this activity will have to be monitored closely for severe weather potential. Conditions appear to be favorable for possible severe weather on Wednesday and Thursday. With regards to Tuesday, a Marginal Risk for severe weather is in place. However, it remains to be seen if any thunderstorm development can be initiated. If it does initiate, then these thunderstorms will certainly carry the risk of severe weather. However, chances remain low (less than 20%) for thunderstorm development. These details will become more clear over the next few days as to exactly what kind of threats may emerge. Please check back over the next day or two for updates. && .AVIATION...

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1218 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 Going with a VFR forecast the next 24 hours. Could see some stratus try to develop tomorrow morning across the southern terminals. Confidence remains too low at this time to include a ceiling, so will just include a scattered group around 1.5K FT at the three southern terminals for now. Expect gusty south winds this afternoon, diminishing this evening for most of the terminals. KABI can expected winds to remain gusty overnight, with gusty south winds returning to all terminals after 15Z Monday.
