299 FXUS64 KSJT 262244 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 544 PM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Above normal temperatures will continue through the beginning of next week. - Low (15 to 30%) rain chances Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening. - Medium (30-60%) chance for rain for the middle of next week, with cooler temperatures for the second half of next week as well. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday) Issued at 141 PM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026 This afternoon and evening, high resolution CAMs continue to show isolated to scattered thunderstorms developing first over the higher terrain of southwest Texas, and then roughly along and just west of a Wichita Falls to Iraan line by late this afternoon. These storms are expected to move east into west-central Texas during the evening hours, potentially lasting into the late night hours. The main concerns with these storms will be gusty winds, and locally heavy rainfall, possibly resulting in localized flooding. Temperatures both tonight and tomorrow will continue to be well above normal, with lows in the upper 60s to mid 70s, and highs in the mid to upper 90s on Sunday. There will be another chance for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and evening, mainly south of Interstate 20. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through next Saturday) Issued at 141 PM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026 By midday Monday, medium range models are in fairly good agreement, bringing a strong upper level trough into southern California, while at the same time, Hurricane Polo is expected to be turning northeast and headed toward the Baja Peninsula. Out ahead of the upper level low, surface winds will increase out of the south/southeast, pulling Gulf moisture into west Texas. The upper level trough is expected pull the remnants of Hurricane Polo northeastward into northwestern Mexico Monday night into Tuesday. The combination of lift from the upper level trough and the remnants of Hurricane Polo, along with plentiful moisture available is still expected to bring a good chance for precipitation to west and west-central Texas from Tuesday into the second half of next week. The most favorable time period will likely be from Tuesday night into Wednesday night as a Pacific cold front moves into the area and combines with the upper level support. While the highest potential for heavy rainfall lies to the west of our area, there will be the potential for heavy rainfall and flooding in our area as well. In addition to the precipitation chances, temperatures should cool from highs in the 90s down into the 80s through the end of next week. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 542 PM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026 VFR conditions are expected for the remainder of the TAF period. However, scattered thunderstorms have developed per radar observations (as of 2243z). This will likely move into the vicinity of KABI this evening. Otherwise, an isolated thunderstorm as far south as KSJT is possible this afternoon as well. Expect erratic, gusty winds in the vicinity of this activity. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
