763 FXUS64 KSJT 212336 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 536 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Dry and quiet weather expected tonight through Saturday. - Another round of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms is expected from Sunday through Monday morning. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 224 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 Much drier conditions have settled in across west central Texas today in the wake of yesterday`s heavy rain event across the northwest Hill Country. Temperatures are in the low 70s this afternoon with northwest winds. Overnight, an area of surface high pressure will push a weak cold front from the north into Texas. The cooler airmass behind it, along with mostly clear skies and light winds, should allow low temperatures to fall to the mid 40s. The area of high pressure should settle in over northwest Texas Saturday morning then move slowly east through the day. Partly cloudy skies are expected with some increase in clouds by the afternoon as moisture increases ahead of the next approaching system over northwest Mexico. Despite the slightly cooler airmass, highs will be in the upper 60s to around 70 tomorrow afternoon. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through next Friday) Issued at 1229 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 The next upper level system is forecast to approach the area late this weekend, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall. An upper level low is forecast to be centered across Arizona early Sunday morning, then track northeast across the Southern Plains Sunday night into Monday. Ahead of this system, surface moisture will quickly increase, with dewpoints rising into the upper 50s to lower 60s across much of the area by late Sunday. The first round of showers and isolated thunderstorms is expected during the day Sunday, as an upper level disturbance approaches from the southwest. The convection that is expected during the day Sunday should be more scattered in nature, with lower rainfall amounts. Higher rainfall chances are then expected Sunday night into Monday morning, as large scale ascent from the aforementioned upper level trough/low overspreads the area. In addition, a Pacific front will track across the region, providing a focus for shower and thunderstorm development. There is a medium to high chance (60 to 80 percent) of rain across the area during this time frame. Precipitable water values from Sunday afternoon into Monday morning are forecast to increase to 1.5 inches plus, especially across the northern half of the area, including much of the Concho Valley, Heartland, and Big Country. These values are anomalously high for late November, so locally heavy rainfall is possible. A few strong to severe thunderstorms are also possible, Sunday afternoon into the overnight hours. The main threats at this point look to be large hail and damaging winds, but the details will become more clear as we get closer to the event. Mild temperatures are forecast for the start of next week, with highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s and overnight lows in the 50s. The next cold front is forecast to track south across the area Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Cooler temperatures are forecast on Wednesday with highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s and overnight lows in the 30s. && .AVIATION...
