215 FXUS64 KSJT 031754 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1154 AM CST Wed Dec 3 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Another cold front will move through the area this afternoon and evening. This will lower highs down into the 40s for Thursday. - Low chance (15-20%) for scattered showers on Thursday, along with colder temperatures. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 100 AM CST Wed Dec 3 2025 Skies are mostly clear this morning across west central Texas with temperatures in the mid 40s. Southerly winds were occurring as a surface trough was developing over the Panhandle. The surface trough was developing on the edge of a strong cold front, which will move southward into west central Texas this afternoon and evening. Ahead of the front, the airmass should be warm enough to support high temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. For areas along and north of Interstate 20, temperatures look to only reach the low 60s before the front arrives. The front will continue southward this evening and reach the Concho Valley and I-10 corridor around 10pm. Behind the front, temperatures should fall into the 30s by late tonight. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 100 AM CST Wed Dec 3 2025 A strong cold front will move well south of the area by Thursday morning resulting in much colder Thursday with highs only in the 40s due to strong cold air advection and wind chills in the 30s. However, a quick recovery in temperatures is in store for this weekend with highs above seasonable values(in the 60s). The next upper level disturbance is due in Thursday and Thursday night with low chances(20-40%) of rain. A little light wintry mix is possible across mainly the northern Big Country Thursday morning but no significant impacts are expected at this time. Rainfall amounts look light with this weak storm system. Going with a dry forecast this weekend and early next week. && .AVIATION...
