684 FXUS64 KSJT 020520 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1220 AM CDT Fri Oct 2 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Additional showers and a few thunderstorms possible Friday through the weekend. Localized flooding is possible, primarily across the northwest Hill Country on Friday. - Below normal temperatures expected through the weekend, with a slow warming trend next week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Friday night.) Issued at 223 PM CDT Thu Oct 1 2026 A drier forecast for much of the area tonight, then rain chances increase again Friday into Friday night. Rainfall has ended across far southeast counties early this afternoon. A cold front will move through the area tonight, bringing considerably cooler temperatures to the region tomorrow. Most of the area will be dry tonight, except for far southeast counties where some additional rainfall is possible along the front, primarily east of a San Saba to Junction line. However, not expecting any additional flooding, as rainfall is not expected to be heavy. As such, the Flood Watch has been canceled with this package. Rain chances will increase again Friday into Saturday, as a weakness aloft resides over the area, along with plenty of moisture around. While widespread flooding is not anticipated, additional rainfall over areas that received heavy rainfall last night could lead to some localized flooding. The most favored area for additional flooding concerns will be across the northwest Hill Country, where rain totals between 4 and 7+ inches occurred last night and this morning. There a slight risk of excessive rainfall across this area for the tomorrow into tomorrow night. Temperatures will be much cooler tomorrow, with highs mainly in the mid and upper 70s. && .LONG TERM...
