087 FXUS64 KSJT 122331 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 631 PM CDT Sat Sep 12 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Heat Advisory for the Big Country this afternoon and early evening. - Hot temperatures and generally dry weather expected over the weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday) Issued at 1242 PM CDT Sat Sep 12 2026 Latest CAMs show a few spotty showers/storms possible across the Hill Country for a few hours around sunset, and have included some small POPs down there. Otherwise, most areas will remain hot and dry. Temperatures on Sunday look a degree or two cooler than today, with heat index values likely just below criteria for another advisory. Will hold off for now and can see if we need to add one later if it looks more likely. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through next Saturday) Issued at 1242 PM CDT Sat Sep 12 2026 Upper level ridge across the Southeast US will be the main weather factor across the area into mid week, keeping the hot and dry conditions in place. Temperatures will continue to run roughly 10 degrees above normal with highs near the 100 degree mark. Still looks like the pattern may finally show some change for late next week into the weekend as an upper level trough moves into the central US and the ridge shifts east. Temperatures start to cool back down into the mid 90s for Friday, with a chance for convection and temperatures closer to normal values returning for Saturday. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 618 PM CDT Sat Sep 12 2026 Patchy stratus is forecast to develop in the Hill Country overnight. Confidence is low as to how far north this stratus will spread but will introduce a TEMPO group at KJCT to account for this. Otherwise, VFR conditions will continue. South-southeast winds will prevail, with gusty winds again on Sunday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
