FXUS64 KSJT 030529 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1229 AM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist across the area this afternoon and evening. - Heavy rainfall is possible with the stronger cells, which may result in localized flooding. - Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Thursday through Friday, with warm and humid conditions persisting. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Thursday) Issued at 103 PM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025 As of 1 PM, several bands of showers and a few thunderstorms were lifting north across roughly the southern half of the forecast area. This is in response to a weak disturbance lifting north out of Mexico, within a plume of tropical moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry. This activity will continue to lift north this afternoon, with additional showers and storms likely developing. A very moist airmass (Precipitable Water 2.0-2.25 inches) will contribute to locally heavy downpours and a threat for some localized flooding at times this afternoon. Rain chances will persist tonight but areal coverage should be a bit lower due to the diurnal nature. Another round of showers and storms will be possible again tomorrow, especially during the afternoon hours once again. Precipitable water values will remain very high, so localized flooding will again be a concern tomorrow. Warm and humid conditions will persist through tomorrow, with lows tonight mainly in the lower 70s, and highs tomorrow afternoon in the 80s. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 142 PM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025 Tomorrow still looks to be the last day with fairly widespread precipitation across the area, with the activity in the afternoon persisting into the evening hours. After that though, the upper level ridge will begin to build across Southwest US and rain chances will begin to dwindle. Some scattered mainly diurnal showers and storms will again be possible for the afternoon/evening of the 4th so there may be some rain to dodge for fireworks Friday Night. A little less activity expected for Saturday and Sunday, before mainly dry conditions return for much of next week. After the cool conditions of the last few days, will see a little more sun and a little warmer temperatures for the 4th with highs in the upper 80s, climbing back into the low to mid 90s for the weekend. With the center of the upper high remaining off to the west, and with wet soils helping to mitigate temperature climb a few degrees, looks like we should be able to keep temperatures below the 100 degree mark for at least the beginning and middle of next week. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1229 AM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025 VFR to MVFR ceilings with rain showers will continue to be the main concern for the next 24 hours. Ceilings and visibilities look to go IFR later this morning through this afternoon. However, low visibilities should be short-lived in the heavier showers that occur. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
