FXUS64 KSJT 030544 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1244 AM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025 ...New LONG TERM... .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... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 1240 AM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025 The upper-level ridge will begin to gradually shift back westward, decreasing rain chances for the Holiday weekend and into early next week. Some scattered diurnal showers and isolated storms are possible for the afternoon/evening hours on the 4th, so there may be some rain lingering around for fireworks on Friday Night. As we move into the weekend and early next week, expect mostly warmer and drier conditions with high temperatures returning in the 90s through Tuesday. By Wednesday, high temperatures will start to approach the triple digits again across the Big Country through the end of next week, with continued dry conditions. && .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...
