649 FXUS64 KSJT 080544 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 1244 AM CDT Fri Oct 8 2021 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Friday) Issued at 151 PM CDT Thu Oct 7 2021 Expect quiet weather tonight and Friday. The winds will be from the south the next 24 hours and gusty at times. Overnight lows will be in the 60s and hot temperatures Saturday with highs in the 90s. && .LONG TERM... (Friday night through next Thursday) Issued at 151 PM CDT Thu Oct 7 2021 An ongoing 500mb ridge over Texas should keep warmer than normal temperatures and dry conditions in place through the weekend. Sunday night into Monday morning, a fast-moving shortwave trough is expected to move through the southern and central Plains, dragging a surface cold front with it. Models differ quite a bit on the location and timing of rain, if any, with this system. The 12Z GFS is the driest, while the 00Z ECMWF still gives decent QPF. Regardless, both models show this system moving quickly through the region and departing by Monday afternoon. For now, PoPs were kept to 20-30 percent for the Sunday night period, with the better chances across our eastern and northern areas. On the tail of this system is an even stronger one that looks to occlude over the northern and central Plains and push a stronger cold front into Texas on Wednesday. Although there are still timing and evolution differences amongst the global models, they all show better rain chances and cooler conditions for midweek. For now, chances will be kept to 20-30 percent and further refined in upcoming forecasts. && .AVIATION...
