334 FXUS64 KSJT 261110 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 610 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 211 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 Morning infrared satellite imagery shows clear skies across West Central Texas, and surface observations show mostly calm winds with temperatures around 59-63 degrees. Expect morning lows to reach the mid to upper 50s. Meanwhile, water vapor satellite imagery shows an upper level ridge dominating most of the southern and central CONUS. Quiet weather will continue through tonight with surface high pressure and associated north to northeasterly flow bringing drier air and also keeping temperatures around seasonal normals. Expect highs today in the low to mid 80s and lows tonight once again in the mid to upper 50s. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 338 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 Quiet, dry, and warm weather expected for the long term. From Friday through early next week, models are in generally good agreement that the upper level low will absorb the remnants of Hurricane Helene, with the low then slowly moving off to the east/northeast through the middle of next week. However, there is some disagreement with respect to the speed of the low as it moves east. Weak upper level troughing will extend southwest into our area from this low over the weekend. To our west, and upper level ridge is expected to be maintained, with that ridge eventually spreading into our area by Tuesday. This will keep our skies mostly clear with light winds at the surface. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees. && .AVIATION...
