Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 7:34 PM CDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 734 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2007 .UPDATE... UPDATED TO INCLUDE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 344 UNTIL 07Z (2 AM CDT). PLEASE REFER TO SATWCNEWX FOR FURTHER DETAILS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 703 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2007/ UPDATE... HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE NORTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE CWA UNTIL 7 AM CDT. PLEASE REFER TO THE SATFFAEWX PRODUCT FOR FURTHER DETAILS. THE MCS EXTENDING ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD AND INTO THE HILL COUNTRY AND ADJACENT AREAS SHORTLY. MANY OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME SEVERE...BUT THE SUB- SEVERE STORMS WILL STILL PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION. HAVE UPDATED POPS/WX GRIDS TO BETTER REFLECT THE CURRENT AND ANTICIPATED SCENARIO. WILL LIKELY SEE SOME COLD-AIR POOLING IN THE WAKE OF THE STORMS...BUT WILL LEAVE TEMPERATURES ALONE AS THIS WILL BE A TEMPORARY FEATURE. PLEASE REMAIN ALERT TO THE ONGOING WEATHER SCENARIO THROUGHOUT THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 551 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2007/ UPDATE... QUICK UPDATE TO INCLUDE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 342 UNTIL 07Z (2 AM CDT). FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE REFER TO THE WATCH PRODUCT, SATWCNEWX. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 542 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2007/ AVIATION... A VERY ACTIVE NWLY FLOW PATTERN ALOFT WILL RESULT IN ORGANIZED CONVECTION ROLLING SOUTHEASTWARD THRU SOUTH TX. SOME STORMS WILL BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS FOR THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS. MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL TX AND THE HILL COUNTRY WILL BE UNDER SEVERE THUNDERSTORM OR TORNADO WATCHES TONIGHT. WITH NUMEROUS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY THE CHANCES OF SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 359 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2007/ DISCUSSION... LOOKS LIKE A SERIES OF THREE IMPULSES WILL BRING ACTIVE WEATHER TO SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SEVERAL OLD BOUNDARIES WILL ACT TO FOCUS THE ENERGY OF UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVES WHICH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE LONG WAVE TROUGH WHICH IS EXTENDING FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO NORTH TEXAS. THE FIRST DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH OUR CWA THIS EVENING. THIS WILL TRIGGER CONVECTION WHICH IS LIKELY TO BE SEVERE. MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE FORECASTING CAPE VALUES ABOVE 2000 J/KG WITH LITTLE OR NO CONVECTIVE INHIBITION AND 0-6 KM SHEAR OF 30-40 KTS. WE EXPECT THE MAIN THREAT THIS EVENING TO BE WIDESPREAD HIGH WINDS AND ISOLATED LARGE HAIL. THE UPPER LEVEL LONG WAVE WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE TO THE EAST AND THE PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO REPEAT ITSELF MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT AS A SECOND AND THIRD SHORT WAVE MOVE THROUGH. THIS WILL BRING A POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EACH OF THESE SYSTEMS. AT THIS TIME THE TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE THE BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIP...BUT NOT NECESSARILY FOR SEVERE. BY WEDNESDAY THE UPPER TROUGH WILL HAVE SHIFTED EAST AND THE WEATHER WILL TURN BENIGN. NO CHANCE OF PRECIP WITH HIGHS NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
