.SHORT TERM (THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...
An upper level short wave axis is moving across the east Texas coast
as of 1 PM CDT today, while several perturbations are
noticeable across South Central Texas in an northwest flow aloft
using the 500mb RAP analysis and lower level water vapor
imagery.
At the surface, a cold front is detected and extends from the Hill
Country to Val Verde County. The frontal boundary is forecast to
slowly push to the south for the rest of today into the evening.
Then, it stalls across the coastal plains through late Sunday
evening before starts to push away or dissipates.
When looking at area forecast soundings, they reveal precipitable
water values in the range of 2.0 to 2.3 inches across the local area
during the passage of the frontal boundary. Also, mean wind flow
appears to be around 10 to 15 knots (slow moving cells) and this can
aid storms to produce locally heavy rain which ultimately
could result in localized flooding.
Today`s rains are likely to concentrate over the Hill Country,
portions of the I-35 corridor including Austin and San Antonio
metros, southern Edwards Plateau, Rio Grande, and coastal
plains areas. Highest rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are
possible. Isolated amounts up to 5 inches can`t be ruled out.
With the loss of daytime heating early this evening, the shower and
thunderstorm activity could remain over the Rio Grande, southern
Edwards Plateau, and coastal plains. For the rest of the local
area, rain chances are limited to 20-30 percent range.
Showers and storms return on Sunday as the frontal boundary remains
across the coastal plains and a few upper level perturbations push
across the local area. There is the chance for locally heavy rain
and localized flooding especially across parts of the Hill Country,
southern Edwards Plateau, Rio Grande, and coastal plains. New
rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible with higher amounts.
The frontal boundary finally dissipates or pushes away from the
local area on Monday and marks the return of dry conditions for some
areas especially the Hill County.
Cooler on Sunday with highs ranging from the lower 80s to lower
90s.
&&
.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...
The dry conditions continue to spread across South Central Texas on
Monday night into Tuesday with this conditions persisting through
Friday. Can`t rule out a few showers or storms across the coastal
plains later in the week with the help of sea breeze convergence.
High temperatures are forecast to warm up back to normal values
ranging from the lower to upper 90s for the work week period.
&&
.AVIATION (18Z SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY)... A cold front is
working southward through the region and has recently moved just
south of AUS. Some additional convection is developing along
and behind the front, so we will keep a PROB30 at KAUS through
22Z and extend until 24Z at SAT and SSF. In addition, we are
monitoring convection out west along the Rio Grande and will
keep a PROB30 for DRT between 20-02Z today. Will keep low clouds
and MVFR cigs in the forecast tonight for all sites as the low-
levels cool behind the front. Another chance for convection is
in the forecast for Sunday and will start all sites with PROB30,
but may need to increase to TEMPO or prevailing pending
incoming model data.
