301 FXUS64 KSJT 020628 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1228 AM CST Mon Nov 2 2026 ...New LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... - Chances are increasing for a line or broken line of showers and thunderstorms to develop from late Monday afternoon through Monday night, with the highest chances east of an Abilene to Big Lake line. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main concerns. - Drier weather for the rest of the week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday night) Issued at 115 PM CST Sun Nov 1 2026 Mild temperatures are forecast overnight with lows in the low to mid 60s. These temperatures are 10 to 15 degrees above seasonal normals. On Monday, a large upper level trough across the western CONUS will track east toward the Great Plains. Ahead of this feature, surface moisture will quickly increase with dewpoints well into the 60s and even approaching 70 on Monday. Morning clouds will give way to mostly sunny skies in the afternoon allowing temperatures to warm into the low to mid 80s. This will result in an increasingly unstable environment ahead of a dryline that will be located just west of the forecast area by late afternoon. A Pacific front will approach our western counties late Monday afternoon or early Monday evening, eventually overtaking the dryline. High resolution models indicate isolated showers and thunderstorms developing by early evening along the front/dryline, mainly across our western counties. Eventually a line, or broken line of showers and thunderstorms is forecast to track east across the area. The highest rain chances will be across our southeast counties where medium to high (70-90%) rain chances are forecast. Low to medium (15- 60%) rain chances are forecast elsewhere. A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible, with damaging wind being the main concerns although some hail is possible. In addition, brief heavy rainfall is possible. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 1227 AM CST Mon Nov 2 2026 Looks like a dry and quiet weather pattern this week through next weekend as additional storm systems are not expected until after the long term period. A low chance of rain returns next weekend. Highs will be in the upper 60s and 70s with overnight lows in the 40s to lower 50s. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1109 PM CST Sun Nov 1 2026 VFR conditions will begin to detoriate into MVFR to IFR Monday morning, with MVFR to IFR ceilings and some patchy fog expected to develop between 10Z to 12Z Monday morning. Expect ceilings to begin improving to VFR and MVFR by late Monday morning into the early afternoon hours. Some gusty southerly winds are expected to redevelop mid to late Monday morning, around 10 to 15 kts and gusts up to 25 kts. There is some potential for showers and thunderstorms at the tail end of the TAF package near KBBD, where a preliminary PROB30 group was included to show for the start of storms and shower development. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
