000 FXUS64 KSJT 281120 AFDSJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 620 AM CDT Wed Oct 28 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Heavy rain potential for portions of the area mainly west of a Sonora to San Angelo to Sweetwater line for Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. A slight risk of excessive rainfall has been issued for portions of west central Texas. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 205 AM CDT Wed Oct 28 2026 Gulf moisture continues to stream into the region as evidenced by stratus developing over the northwest Hill Country early this morning. Stratus deck will continue to stream northward through the morning hours. Should see some breaks in the clouds this afternoon with dry conditions prevailing. Highs will climb into the lower 80s. Could see some light showers develop tonight across the northern Edwards Plateau but the better rain chances will be during the day on Thursday- see the long term discussion below for more details. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 1137 PM CDT Tue Oct 27 2026 On Thursday a large upper level trough will be located across the western CONUS. An embedded upper level shortwave trough will track northeast across West Texas late Thursday into Friday. Meanwhile the remnant mid and upper level moisture from Tropical Storm Vance will move north into the region. The combination of abundant low level moisture in the Gulf along with the added upper level moisture from the remnants of Vance will result in the potential for locally heavy rainfall across the area. The current forecast has medium to high (40-90%) rain chances across the area Thursday. Rain chances increase even more Thursday night into Friday morning, with medium to high (60-100%) rain chances. The highest rain chances will be across the western half of the area. The main question, as is usually the case, is where the heaviest rain ends up. Some of the guidance indicates the heaviest rain occurring across West Central Texas, especially the western half of the area. Other model guidance has the axis of heaviest rain to our west, across the Trans-Pecos region and Permian Basin. Ultimately, it will depend on the eventual track of the aforementioned upper level shortwave trough. We should have a better idea in the next 24 hours as more high resolution model guidance begins to extend into that time frame. The main concern continues to be locally heavy rainfall as precipitable water values increase to 1.6 to 1.9 inches. The locally heavy rainfall may result in flooding. Highs on Thursday will be in the mid 70s to lower 80s, with highs on Friday in the low to mid 70s Low end (20-30%) rain chances are forecast on Saturday (Halloween). Drier conditions are then forecast for the evening hours. The next upper level trough will approach the forecast area Sunday into Monday. There are differences in the timing and strength of this feature, so confidence remain low for this time frame. This upper level trough/low will bring the next chance of rain, especially Monday into Monday night. For now, rain chances were kept in the 20- 30% range. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 615 AM CDT Wed Oct 28 2026 Stratus will continue spreading across the terminals this morning. Mainly MVFR conditions are expected, but ceilings could occasionally lower to IFR at times. Otherwise, VFR conditions will return in the afternoon. Winds will remain out of the south near 10 knots, with some gusts near 17 knots in the afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
