825 FXUS64 KSJT 211920 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 220 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 ...New LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 159 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 As of this afternoon, skies were partly cloudy with temperatures hovering around 90 and winds from the south at 10 to 15 MPH. Unlike the past few days an upper level ridge, currently located over the Tennessee Valley, has started to build in across central Texas. This feature should help to suppress most chances for rain today and tomorrow and allow warmer temperatures to occur. Another round of nocturnal stratus is expected to develop and build in late tonight across the Edwards Plateau and northwest Hill Country areas. This cloud cover should burn off by late morning. Other than a few showers along and south of the I-10 corridor this afternoon, precipitation is not expected through tomorrow evening. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through next Friday) Issued at 218 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 For the weekend, we continue the warming trend across the region as dry conditions make a return. A high pressure system will develop across the southwestern U.S., which will leave us on the eastern end of this system. This will be the root cause of our hot and dry conditions. Some locations may make a return to the triple digits early next week. In fact, heat indexes near 105 degrees are possible, which will increase the likelihood for heat related illnesses. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1231 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 VFR conditions expected with winds over 10KT this evening. Late tonight, MVFR to IFR ceilings should develop for southern terminals and continue through the morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
