069 FXUS64 KSJT 031118 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 618 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - A low to medium chance (20-40%) of thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. - Increased chances for showers and thunderstorms through Saturday, with localized flash flooding possible. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 1204 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026 Southern Plains continues to be caught between a weak upper low over Mexico and a weak upper ridge over the mid Mississippi Valley, producing weak southerly flow aloft across the area. Continued southeast flow off the Gulf will feed moisture into the area and will leave a largely uncapped or weakly air mass across West Central Texas again for Wednesday. Not much forcing to help develop storms, but much like Tuesday, there will be a few outflow and differential heating boundaries around that will provide enough local lift to kick off some storms. Most of the CAMs show more isolated convection but he RRFS which is handling the convection tonight pretty well is a little more aggressive and will lean that direction. Overall, areas west have a slightly better POP chances (30-40%) than east across the Heartland and eastern Big Country (20%) but that may change as the boundaries become a little more obvious during the morning and early afternoon hours. Lack of shear will limit the severe threat, but enough instability in some areas that some stray hail or gusty winds can`t be ruled out. Temperatures won`t be very much different than what they were on Tuesday with highs in the mid 80s to around 90. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through next Wednesday) Issued at 1017 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 On Thursday, an upper low will be over northern Mexico and is forecast to lift northeast across southeastern New Mexico by early Saturday, and then into the Texas Panhandle Saturday night. This system will bring increasing rain chances to the area Thursday through Saturday, with lingering rain chances into Sunday. The main concern the next several days will be the threat for heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding. Temperatures will be cooler through through Saturday with highs in the 80s, then slightly warmer temperatures are expected for Sunday. An upper level ridge develops over the region by early next week. This will result in drier conditions, along with warmer temperatures through the middle of next week, with highs in the 90s. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 614 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026 Area of showers and storms along the western border of the area are not moving closer to any of the terminals yet, and may not before dissipating later this morning. Outflow boundary has sagged to near KSJT and may be a focus for convection development again this afternoon. Some low clouds have crept north into the southern terminals and will persist into the mid/late morning time frame before lifting. Otherwise, VFR conditions and light east to southeast winds will prevail across area terminals. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
