807 FXUS64 KSJT 061754 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1254 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms expected this afternoon across the southern part of the area. - Hot and mostly dry conditions expected next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 1225 AM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Expect mainly hot and dry conditions today across the area as a strong upper level ridge remains just to our north. However, isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are possible across our southern counties this afternoon. A few Hi-Res models have an isolated storm maybe to around San Angelo. Also, isolated showers may start across the Northwest Hill Country late this morning. The main hazards will be dangerous lightning and damaging winds. Highs will be in the mid 90s to around 101 across the Big Country. Please follow heat safety precautions including drinking water. Expect warm and humid conditions tonight with lows in the upper 60s and 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Saturday) Issued at 1225 AM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 On Monday, an upper level ridge will be centered across Kansas and Oklahoma. This will result in a continuation of the above normal temperatures across West Central Texas. The forecast area will remain on the southern periphery of the ridge, so isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible, mainly along the I-10 corridor. Although most areas will remain dry, low (15-20%) rain chances are forecast across the I-10 corridor. Highs will be in the mid 90s to near 100. Tuesday into Wednesday the upper level ridge will become elongated, stretching from the Four Corners region to the Southeast United States. This will result in hot and dry conditions with highs above seasonal normals. Highs these days will be in the mid 90s to near 100, with overnight lows in the upper 60s to upper 70s. For the latter part of the work, the upper level ridge begins to shift west, becoming centered across Arizona and California. Despite the ridge becoming centered farther west, its influence on the forecast area will continue with hot and dry conditions continuing. Highs will continue to be 5 to 10 degrees above normal, in the mid 90s to near 100. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1251 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Expect VFR conditions for the next 24 hours. Isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible this afternoon across the southern part of the area and will maintain PROB30 groups for thunder at the KJCT, KSOA and the KBBD terminals. Brief gusty winds and temporary reduction to visibility is possible associated with convection. Convection will dissipate after sunset with the loss of daytime heating. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
