524 FXUS64 KSJT 281013 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 513 AM CDT Tue Jul 28 2020 .SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) ...Mainly Dry and Hot... Aside from a small chance of showers and thunderstorms, the highlight of the short term is hot afternoon highs. Models have been consistently under forecasting afternoon highs; Abilene and San Angelo highs yesterday were 98 and 100, respectively. Forecast highs for yesterday were 94, for both locations. So, afternoon highs today close to persistence look better than model numbers, which still look too low. With some persistent convection to our north, the best rain chances, for the next 24 hours, looks to be over our northeastern counties, this afternoon. Nevertheless, PoP numbers no higher than around 30 percent look best, mainly because of low confidence. .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Monday) ...Highs Above Normal with Possible Rain... The long term forecast remains essentially unchanged. As with the short term, models forecast highs look too low, and that assessment is based mainly on past performance. As for rain chances, the NBM PoP numbers looked reasonable this cycle. Just a slight adjustment to them, to make them blend better with neighboring offices, was the only deviation necessary to produce a nearly seamless rain forecast, for West Central Texas; nevertheless, low confidence warrants no higher than 20 percent chances. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
