829 FXUS64 KSJT 041922 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 222 PM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 ...New SHORT TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 156 PM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 New daily record of 109 reached at 2 PM at the San Angelo airport, and there are 2 to 3 hours of heating left. All time record high is 114 degrees set in 2023. Previous to 2023, the all time record was 111, and that might be possible. Dry line extended from east of a Sonora to San Angelo to Sweetwater line, with temperatures in the 104 to 109 range to the west of it. Some relief is in store Wednesday as a cold front moves into the Big Country late tonight and through the rest of West Central Texas Wednesday morning. But it will still be warm to hot, with highs in the lower to mid 90s in the Big Country, and upper 90s to 101 from the Concho Valley south to I-10. There is an outside chance of a thunderstorm late afternoon along the front in Kimble county, but otherwise dry conditions are expected to prevail. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through next Tuesday) Issued at 138 PM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 Thursday into the weekend, and upper level ridge will sit over west central Texas, keeping our temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above normal for afternoon highs, and suppressing rain chances across the area. Highs will range from the mid 90s to around 105 degrees at times. By Sunday night, a substantial trough will begin to move into the western U. S. coast. This trough will help to break down the ridge over the southwestern U. S. while at the same time drawing an offshore low off the coast of the Baja Peninsula northward. The trough and low will eventually merge over the southwestern U. S. states by Monday morning. Another trough over northern plains is expected to send a cold front into our area in the Monday/Tuesday timeframe. The cold front combined with energy from the southwestern U. S. low moving through should provide a chance for precipitation and cooler temperatures for west central Texas early next week from Sunday night into Tuesday. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1144 AM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 Except for visibility reductions to MVFR in haze at KJCT and possibly KBBD toward morning, VFR conditions expected. Gusty southwest winds weaken toward 00Z. A wind shift to the northeast at 6 KTS expected at KABI around 10Z and KSJT 13Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
