512 FXUS64 KSJT 111741 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1241 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 311 AM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 The latest radar imagery indicates storms over the southern Permain Basin, moving east. A few storms are strong but remaining below severe levels. These storms are located on the south side of a slow moving upper level low moving slowly east-southeast across the South Plains. The combination of lift associated from the upper low, abundant moisture(PW values 1.5 to 2 inches) and mesoscale outflow boundaries will result in scattered to numerous thunderstorms today and this evening. The Hi-Res models indicated best coverage of storms across the southern half of the area. A few severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening along and south of a San Angelo to Brownwood line due to localized moderate instability and good effective shear(moderate mid and upper level flow). The main hazards will be large hail, damaging winds and dangerous lightning. Also, locally heavy rainfall may produce localized flooding. The coverage of convection should be mainly isolated after midnight. Expect warm and humid conditions today and tonight. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 235 AM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 The upper-level shortwave trough that brought us some showers and thunderstorms during the first half of this week will begin to exit the area to the southeast and allow high pressure to begin building back across West Central Texas through the remainder of the week and weekend. This will lead to a transition from warm and wet weather to more hot and dry conditions through the weekend and into early next week. Afternoon high temperatures will start off in the mid 80s to 90s on Wednesday, and gradually warm into the mid 90s to near 102 by the beginning of next week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1235 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 Main focus for thunderstorms will be KBBD and KJCT today as thunderstorm outflow boundaries from south of San Angelo to Brady push south the I-10 corridor...to KSOA and KJCT. Gusty winds and temporary reduction of visibilities to IFR possible A few isolated thunderstorms, however may affect KABI and KSJT with surface heating this afternoon. MVFR stratus otherwise returns late tonight, rising or scattering out to VFR mid morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
