326 FXUS64 KSJT 301121 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 621 AM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Widely scattered showers and storms possible this morning and again this afternoon and tonight. Potential for localized heavy rainfall and flooding. - Locally heavy rainfall potential continues into Sunday, with the focus shifting south to the I-10 corridor and NW Hill Country Sunday afternoon and night. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 108 AM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025 Ongoing convection across the higher terrain of eastern New Mexico and the western Texas Panhandle this evening, has started to progress east-southeastward toward West Central Texas this morning. Models have this system tracking into the Big Country around 3AM this morning, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall across the area and dissipating by mid-morning. Showers and thunderstorm coverage will increase this afternoon and evening into Sunday, bringing more localized heavy rainfall to the area which can lead to some localized flooding. In addition, the stronger storms will be capable of producing some gusty winds and although severe weather is not expected, isolated downbursts of stronger winds will be possible. As for temperatures, expect highs in the mid 80s to mid 90s, with the coolest conditions expected across the Big Country. Lows for tonight will drop back into the upper 60s to lower 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Friday) Issued at 147 AM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025 Heavy rainfall and flash flooding potential will likely extend into Sunday morning, as scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across much of the country warning area. By Sunday afternoon and night, the focus for showers and thunderstorms will likely shift south along the I-10 corridor, as the cold front moves along I-10 and south of the region. However, GFS Precipital water values are still in the 2 inch range along I-10 and eastward to Brady and Saba, so the atmosphere will still be tropical-like behind the front, with the potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Highest rain chances Monday will continue to be along the I-10 corridor, but the atmosphere will not be as moist, so heavy rainfall potential is much lower. Drier conditions expected Tuesday and Wednesday, with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms returns Thursday as few upper disturbances moving through in northwest flow aloft. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 615 AM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025 MVFR to IFR ceilings are expected across all terminals this morning prior to some lingering showers and thunderstorms moving into the area from the northwest this morning, providing further restrictions to visibilities. After a brief reprieve, showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage this afternoon/evening into Sunday, keeping MVFR ceilings and reduced visibilities in the TAF package through overnight tonight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
