146 FXUS64 KSJT 142343 AAA AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service San Angelo TX 543 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Record or near record high temperatures through Sunday. - Rain chances (40%-70%) increase for the middle of next week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 1254 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 An upper level ridge will continue to dominate the weather across Texas. This will result in unseasonably warm and dry conditions across West Central Texas. The record high temperature on November 15th at Abilene is 85 while it is 86 at San Angelo. Abilene has a high chance of breaking or tying the record while San Angelo has a medium chance of tying or breaking the record. Expect highs across the area in the mid 80s to near 90. Overnight lows will be mild, in the mid 50s to lower 60s. Stratus is forecast to overspread the southern half of the area by daybreak, with mostly clear skies returning by mid to late morning. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through next Friday) Issued at 146 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Well-above normal temperatures are expected to continue on Sunday as the persistent upper-level ridge will remain in place until Monday. Despite the intrusion of a weak cold front, Sunday looks to be the warmest day due to the strength of the ridge. The daily records for high temperatures on Sunday are 86 in Abilene and 87 in San Angelo. Forecast highs at these locations are expected to tie or break these records that day. The ridge will start to break down on Monday as an upper-level trough will push out of the Desert Southwest into the central Plains. Another warm and somewhat breezy day can be expected, although it should be several degrees cooler than Sunday. A pattern change is in store for the middle to latter half of next week. Models show a strong upper-level trough that should dig into northern Mexico Wednesday and Thursday. Ahead of this feature, plenty of gulf moisture looks to be advected into west central Texas with a decent amount of instability. As a result, models show medium (40-70%) chances of rain and thunderstorms for Tuesday night through Thursday, which has trended higher each day. Amounts, severity, and timing will vary quite a bit over the next few days depending on how the track of the main trough evolves. For now, this feature will continue to be monitored for finer details. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 543 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Initially clear skies and VFR conditions will be followed by low cloud development from the south late tonight into Saturday morning.

The low cloud cover is expected to break up in the mid-to-late morning time frame, with generally clear skies and VFR conditions area wide in the afternoon. South or south-southwest winds will remain somewhat gusty at KABI tonight, but will decrease at our other TAF sites.
